    Think about how comical this must appear from the Lord’s perspective. The apostles (led by Peter) decide the 12th position is empty and therefore it needs to be filled (appropriately reasoned). The only problem is - it is they who chose the two men; cast

    Jesus is going away, but they will not be left to their own resources. The Father will send the Spirit in Jesus’ place. The power of God is resident in Jesus & His disciples are invited to know Jesus & gain life from Him, & share His power.
