And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,
Amen 🙏
Jesus chose the 12 disciples, knowing who they were and all of their future failings. He chose twelve “ordinary men”. The group included lowly fishermen and despised tax collectors, and he even chose Judas Iscariot whom he knew would betray him. The 11 disciples became Apostles and founded the Church after Jesus sent them out to do so. They did great things for God, but in the beginning, they were full of blunders and mistakes.
I know, Lord, that You have chosen me to be your disciple. You did not choose me because of anything good you saw in me but purely in grace for your sovereign purposes. Whatever my failings, I take comfort in knowing that the Apostles failed also at first but that You ultimately worked mightily through them. You can do the same with all of Your children. Amen.🙏🙏
