There are many verses that seem strange to human minds that are found in the Bible.

Today’s lesson deals with Jesus choosing the twelve disciples. They were set apart and given a job. They were examples for us, to show what to do, and how to do it. In doing this Jesus makes a very strong statement about our responsibilities as Christians and citizens. We are to go out into the community and we are to carry the Word by mouth and by example.
