In order to build the best organization, you need the best personnel. Recruit well and win big. Great people make for great success. These are all wise maxims that we would do well to remember. Yet when Jesus selected his twelve apostles, they could not have been more ordinary. There was nothing special about them. Uneducated, untrained, mismatched, and without any real skill set that would lend itself to the establishment of a new kingdom. Yet this is who Jesus didn’t just welcome, but went and appointed to his team. What do we make of that? What does it say about us and the lives we are called to live today?
