Important to the ministry of Jesus
was the appointment and training of His apostles. Men who would follow Him and
continue His work after His death. Men who themselves would experience great
suffering and martyrdom. In our text (Mk 3:13-19), we read of their appointment. To be with Him and later sent out to
preach, heal, and cast out demons.
Luke tells
us that the selection was proceeded by a night of Prayer (Luke 6:12-13). In this lesson, I wish to focus on their
overall ministry for Christ and the world.
