Twelve Losers

Christ chose twelve losers in the community to help him save the world. Those losers were called “apostles” who, even with the power of God behind them, failed to straighten out the mess of their own community. Christ was not invited to a banquet to celebrate the success of his life and work. On the contrary, He was arrested, tried, and crucified on the cross. When it comes to divine failures – Christ is the answer. In the meantime, Generations have passed and there is not yet a sign that Jesus is returning. Nevertheless, if Jesus arrives, it is most probable that his twelve apostles won’t be coming along with him. They were all failures in the eyes of Jesus. Consider the two criminals crucified along side Him. Jesus promised one eternal salvation for believing in Him. A promise He never made to any of His twelve apostles. But then again, why bother to return when clearly in John 18:36: Jesus bragged: “My kingdom is not of this world.” Poch Suzara
