Miracles and Mysteries: Matthew 8-13Näide

If you were to assemble an elite team to tackle important work, who would you choose to be on that team? Someone highly qualified and experienced? Someone with the best skillset? The best and the brightest in their field?

What kind of people did Jesus choose for His work?

The names of the twelve apostles aren’t just a list—they are a glimpse of Jesus’ wisdom and grace. Fishermen, a tax collector, a political zealot, a doubter, and even a betrayer. None of them were religious elites. Yet Jesus calls them, equips them, and entrusts them with His mission.

This is the glory of God: He delights in using the weak, the ordinary, the unexpected. He doesn’t need ability—He gives it. He doesn’t require worthiness—He makes people His own.

Today, ponder this: Do you ever feel too unqualified to serve Jesus? His call isn’t about your strength, but His.
