256. Acts of the Holy Spirit #10 (Acts 1:21-26)
Daily 7A Movement Launch Meeting Launch Code
5 minutes to light the fuse
Hear from God
Remember who we are
Receive blessing
Go change the world
Ron and Nick discuss taking every thought captive, noise, and inviting the Holy Spirit into our day all day.
Notes:
Acts 1:22
From the time
What may not stand out at first here is the fact that not only were there people who followed Jesus without being among the chosen 12, but evidently there were many who did so. Enough that there was a pool of people who potentially could take Judas' place.
They followed Jesus without a title and without recognition. And after all had happened, even after Jesus himself had departed, then they were called into the 12. They were ready to take a place among the leaders for one reason; they faithfully followed when no one noticed and when following was all they could do
Acts 1:23
So They Proposed Two Men
The simplicity of this solution for such an enormous task is amazing. This person will stand in the shoes of the Apostles alongside Peter and the others to bear witness to the most important life ever lived with the most important message ever proclaimed. And the leadership is stumped. It might be one guy or another. They aren't sure which one. They know they need a 12th man so they do what? They put them both before the Lord and throw some dice. This may sound crass to crass ears but the truth is that it is the beautiful faith of men convinced God can make any chance turn to His purposes and the faith that he will make this turn to his purposes. Without faith it is impossible to please God (hebrews 11:6) and without faith it's impossible to serve God.
