The Twelve Apostles
Luke 6:13-16
And when it was day, he called to him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;…


They were not great men, strong men, learned men, but they must have had qualifications of some kind for the position to which they were called. What were these qualifications?

1. They were good men.

2. They were men of sensitive mind, ready for Divine calls, open to Divine impulses.

3. They were men of simple, child-like heart — men who had great capacity for faith.

(J. Foster.)
