Why did a diverse multitude, ranging from believers to skeptics, flock to witness the miracles and teachings of this extraordinary figure? We dive deep into the motivations of those who followed Jesus, from genuine faith seekers to those pursuing personal advantage, and why it's crucial to honor his true identity as the Messiah. Venture with us as we explore the remarkable choice of the twelve apostles, a group whose backgrounds might surprise you with their diversity and apparent lack of qualifications. Discover how Jesus' transformative calling turned an unlikely assembly of individuals—ranging from educated tax collectors to simple fishermen—into the foundation of the Christian church. We highlight the divine selection process where their true worth transcended their initial abilities, and what role familial ties and the infamous Judas Iscariot played in this narrative.
