Luke 6:12-16 The Choosing of The Twelve

Published: Aug. 20, 2017, 6 p.m.

b'Jesus, facing increasing opposition, chooses the 12 Apostles from among His disciples. He secludes Himself on a mountain and prays all night before making the choice. The choosing of the 12 is born from increasing opposition, communion with the Father, and a dependence upon His power. These are the same things that characterize the church and the Christian life.'
