When I think about the apostles, I think about how much of an honor they must have felt having Jesus choose them to be his disciples. I watched a video series by (Tyler help me out, it was from the twenty-somethings group. His name is just not there for me) and he talked about how hard people worked to be a disciple for a rabbi. They had to memorize so much scripture, they had to serve the rabbi, they had to do so much as far as just trynig to impress the rabbi. After many steps, the best of the best were chosen to be the disciples of the rabbi. It took years of terribly hard work to be able to even get to a point of consideration to be a disciple. All this said, how cool it must have been for Jesus' disciples. Jesus saw good in them and knew that they would be able to do his work and spread the gospel. Normal people just plucked out of the crowd.
That's us, just normal people.
