Some students are actually disciples.
Some may be overconfident and opinionated like the apostle Peter, hurting other disciples with their insults and interruptions. Praising them when they say something right and disciplining them when their actions fall below accepted levels represents responsible love. Others may resemble the beloved disciple, always craving attention. Giving them the proper amount without showing favoritism then becomes very important. Some may lack confidence and be doubtful like Thomas.
