Our LORD Commissions The Twelve Apostles

Mark 3:13 says, “And He goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto Him whom He would: and they came unto Him.” Luke 6:12 tells us that before our Lord commissioned the twelve apostles, He “continued all night in prayer to God.”

1. The Commissioning of the Twelve Apostles.

“And He ordained twelve, that they should be with Him.” Our Lord “calleth unto Him whom He would: and they came unto Him” (Mark 3:13). They obeyed the call. Spending time fellowshipping with the Lord is an indispensable qualification for Christian service, (Mark 3:14). This training prepared them to carry on the work after our Lord's death, resurrection, and ascension.

2. The Message of the Twelve Apostles.

He says, “And He ordained twelve, that they should be with Him, and that He might send them forth to preach.” Mark 6:30 says, “And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught”.
Matthew 10:5-7; Matt. 28:19; Acts 1:8.

3. The Method of the Twelve Apostles.

Christians must devote themselves to learning the Bible. (2 Timothy 2:15); house to house, city to city (Matthew 10:11-13); Those who rejected them were rejecting Christ.(Matthew 10:13-16).

The Lord is still calling for workers; preachers, missionaries, and soulwinners.

Will you answer the call?
