06 01 Luke 6.12-16 If you had the choice Jesus is about to make in our text, what method would use? Some would just “role the dice.” Others may go with a gut feeling. You might seek counsel or just draw straws. Jesus was developing His own succession plan to prepare 12 men to carry on His ministry once He was gone. He began His selection process with prayer. A very unorthodox method when compared to today’s models of selection and development and the 12 He chose weren’t skilled in theological training or public speaking, yet they were the ones Jesus would invest His time and energy in. It goes to show that Jesus can take anyone who is willing and mold them into people who can turn the world upside down. Are we willing to be that person?
