Luke 6:12-16

Listen to Luke 6:12-16

12 At that time Jesus went off to a mountain to pray, and he spent the night praying to God.

13 The next morning, Jesus called his followers to him and chose twelve of them, whom he named apostles:

14 Simon (Jesus named him Peter), his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,

15 Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon (called the Zealot),

16 Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who later turned Jesus over to his enemies.

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?
