Sample Book Insights:
#1 The initial objective of Jesus’ plan was to enlist men who could bear witness to his life and carry on his work after he returned to the Father. He chose John, Andrew, Philip, Nathanael, James, and Matthew to be his first disciples.
#2 The Twelve Apostles were simple men who were chosen by the Lord to be his assistants. They were not key figures in the synagogue, nor did they belong to the Levitical priesthood. They were common laboring men, and yet Jesus saw in them the potential of leadership for the Kingdom.
#3 The apostles were the first group of people to be chosen to join Jesus’s team, and as the number of followers grew, it became necessary to narrow the group down to a more manageable number.
#4 The more concentrated the group being taught, the more effective the instruction. Jesus devoted most of his remaining life on earth to teaching these few disciples. He literally staked his whole ministry on them.
