the Twelve are called Apostles when mention is made of their return from the mission of preaching and healing. The privileges of the Twelve were to be in continual attendance on their master and to be the recipients of his special teaching and training. At least once they were sent on a special mission, two by two, to announce the imminence of the messianic kingdom. Do you possess a sincere willingness to remain committed to the Lord until the end? If so, welcome to Christ’s inner circle!
