There would come a day when Jesus would not physically be with His disciples. They needed to be ready. Jesus was building His church. These ordinary men would be the means by which He did so. Much about these young men was immature and imperfect. They were untried men with a limited grasp of who Christ was. They had a poor understanding of themselves. They-d never preached a sermon.----Praise God, the spread of the gospel doesn-t depend on our perfection or our merit but on the call of Christ, and obedience to that call and the equipping of Christ. If God can use a reluctant disobedient man like Jonah, He can surely use me. ----These disciples still had much to learn, but they already had much to give.
