The Twelve Ordinary men

The twelve Ordinary men

 

A friend of mine recently blessed me with a great book entitled Twelve Ordinary Men. The book is about the twelve men that Jesus Christ selected as His disciples. The twelve were an amazing selection from the greatest Man to ever walk on this earth; the Man who had all the options open to Him as to whom He could choose to be on His team. He could choose from the class of intellectual Sadducees; or from the top religious sages among the Jews; or from the affluent and wealthy citizens. He had them all at His disposal! But with all the options He had, He selected ordinary men; among them a handful of common fishermen, a hated tax collector, and an impulsive political zealot. They weren’t saints, scholars nor religious sages but plain simple and common citizens. The men were ordinary; hopelessly human and remarkably unremarkable! What made the difference is that they were obedient to the Master’s call and yielded to the Master’s touch. It is amazing what you can achieve through obedience; simple obedience to the Master’s call! Obeying your call may mean trading your position, money and comfort for something less glamorous; it may mean going against the tide and being misunderstood by your peers, colleagues and friends; it may not make sense to anybody else; but in the end that is what will define a life well lived: a purpose-driven life and the reward is grandiose! Through obedience to the Master’s call and obedience to their calling and purpose the twelve ordinary men were transformed to become a force that forever changed the world, the history and the fate of mankind. Are you following your call and your purpose for life? Are you walking in obedience?

 

If you don’t make a difference; then you don’t matter!
