The Molon Labe Disciple: Simon the Zealot

I can't account for the accuracy of the historical details, but I can shed some light on who this disciple was. I call him the "Molon Labe Disciple" because of what he represented. Jesus chose this man for a very important reason and we should take a moment to explore what this should mean to us as patriots and followers of Christ.
Very little is stated in scripture about Simon the Zealot. But if we look at the identifier in his name "Zealot" and explore the history of the Zealots during the time of the ministry of Christ, we'll find that we have a great commonality with this disciple. Regardless of where you are in your faith, Simon shows us that our Lord loves a patriot.
