The Selection of the Twelve Apostles

12 Now it happened that in these days he went away to the mountain to pray, and was spending the whole night in prayer to God.

13 And when day came, he summoned his disciples and chose from them twelve, whom he also named apostles:

14 Simon (whom he also named Peter) and his brother Andrew, and James, and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew,

15 and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the [son] of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot,

16 and Judas [the son] of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez turns to the gospel of Luke to study why Jesus chose this motley group of men. Perhaps we should also ask ourselves; if God can use these guys, could He use you and me as well?
