Jesus Appoints Twelve Apostles

In Luke 6, we see Jesus spend the whole night in prayer before making one of the most important decisions of His ministry. If the Son of God, fully divine and fully man, prioritized prayer before choosing the twelve apostles, how much more should we seek God's will through prayer and Scripture in our own lives? Before stepping into a new season, a new challenge, a new calling — stop and pray. God hears, and He answers according to His perfect plan.

And then, Jesus calls twelve very ordinary men — fishermen, tax collectors, even a zealot — and transforms them into the foundation of His church. Different backgrounds, different strengths, yet united in one mission: to be sent out with the good news. And so are we! Though we are not apostles like the Twelve, we are sent ones, called to carry the gospel to our world. Trust the Scriptures, live as disciples, and boldly share Christ, knowing He sees not just who we are now, but who we can become by His power.
