Jesus doesn’t pick the best, He picks those who are willing to follow him
Jesus chose men to be His disciples so ordinary it was comical. Not a single rabbi. No teachers, no religious experts, not even a synagogue ruler. Half of them were fishermen. One was essentially an IRS agent and one of them was a former terrorist.
John McArthur
Jesus chose us,
Jesus chose us,We didn’t choose him
We didn’t choose him
We didn’t choose him
16 You did not choose me, but I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce fruit and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give you. (CSB)
Our primary calling is to be with Jesus
(CSB)
To follow Jesus we have to leave everything behind
