Jesus Appoints the Twelve

Jesus has been preparing men to spread the Gospel and help in teaching the New Covenant…

Mark 3:13-19
13 Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him. 14 He appointed twelve[a] that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach 15 and to have authority to drive out demons. 16 These are the twelve he appointed: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter), 17 James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means “sons of thunder”), 18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

The way that Jesus chose these twelve to follow Him is indicative of how He has called all of us, and chosen a few. All of us have been given the authority to heal and to cast our demons.

When I fist learned of this it really did freak me out. The supernatural just wasn’t an area that I liked to think about much less be involved in. However, Jesus left us all with a helper called the Holy Spirit, and the more I began to get to know that spirit, the more I began to realize that the supernatural world exists. The battle between good and evil rages on around us every day. As a Christian, it is my duty to enter this battle every day. My weapon…God’s Word. The Bible.

Thank you Jesus for choosing me. I love you and will go wherever it is that you call me to go. #JesusSaves

Amen. Maranatha.
