“HE CALLED HIS DISCIPLES!”

Luke 6:12-16                                 (ESV)

“12 In these days HE (JESUS) went out to the mountain to pray, and all night HE continued in prayer to GOD.

13 And when day came, “HE CALLED HIS DISCIPLES” and chose from them twelve, whom HE named apostles:

14 Simon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew,

15 and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot,

16 and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.”  

There are some things that we cannot KNOW, we just have to accept by FAITH!  What JESUS was praying to GOD regarding in Luke 6:12 isn’t recorded, but almost immediately afterwards “HE CALLED HIS DISCIPLES”!  Everyone of them had a Purpose in being “CALLED”, from Peter to Judas Iscariot.  Peter, whose faith JESUS said HE would build HIS church on, even denied even knowing JESUS when HE was queried.   Judas Iscariot allowed “the Jews” to sway him with “money” to become a traitor to JESUS.  

This thing remains, “HE CALLED HIS DISCIPLES”, even with their deficiencies and shortcomings.  HE still CALLS people who are imperfect and “the lowest”!  I know, because HE CHOSE ME!!!
