The Church's Mission Part III [A Call To Discipleship]
Manage episode 335583135 series 2944323
Christians today no matter how long we have been saved or what title we have are all disciples. None of the disciples Jesus chose were perfect. We are all familiar with Peter and Judas but what about James, John, Nathaniel and Andrew. How did Jesus end up picking the 12 out of the thousands who followed Him. What Jesus did to pick the 12 is what we should do today in the decisions we make.
Often times we think Jesus showed up to the disciples and said follow Me and they left to follow Him without knowing Him. By the time Jesus said follow Me two of these disciples had already spent the day with Him. Jesus already had disciples baptizing, He cleared the money changers out of the temple, Jesus had met with the Samaritan woman at the well, and He had already had a discourse with Nicodemus. Jesus already had a following of anywhere from hundreds to thousands of disciples before He picked the 12. Elder Wigfall goes through the Scriptures to show the disciples were an odd bunch most Rabbi's would not have selected, and how Jesus came to pick the 12.
