If the story ended in Acts 5, we might conclude that service in the Church is done only by the apostles or the well-trained and spiritually elite.

Through them, including people like you and me, the Good News of Jesus will be proclaimed to the ends of the earth.

We often think it is by our intellect and strength that an Associate Pastor is selected, but we never show the Lord whom we have selected. Instead, we pray with the disciples, “Lord, show us whom you have chosen.”

NT Reading: Acts 1:12-26

When Jesus says, “You will be my witnesses to the end of the earth,” His disciples must have been surprised by this promise.
