When he did, we may be sure importance on ms mind. One of these occasions was the night before he se lected the twelve I men he called Apos I ties. He had thous , ands of disciples, crowds followed I him wherever he i went. But it was | important to have a few with whom he Dr. Foreman could live as an intimate friend. So | from the immense number of fol lowers, Jesus selected twelve clos- , est friends. Before that fateful morning no one outside their vil- | lages had ever heard of them. But now their names are known? and eleven of them are honored? around the world. ? ? ? Jesus Multiplies Himself A GOOD executive, Jesus multi plied his own personality. A recent book has shown how Harry J I Hopkins during World War II lived n the White House as Roosevelt's personal companion, having given ( ip his own ambitions and living on- | I iy to carry out the ideas of his chief. I I Without Roosevelt, Hopkins would ' j have been little more than an infer- j ioi politician; and without Hopkins. I many of Roosevelt's plans could not ( h^ve been carried out. He enable I the president to be in two places r.t once. So it was with Jesus, as Mark j tells us. Jesus wanted those twelve J to be with him, and then to send ihem out. He wanted these friends to know | him as the crowds, and his en emies, never could know him. He wanted these men to absorb his ideas and ideals. The word Jesus used for them was not his own invention: ";ipostle" was the word used all ov< r the civil ized world in those day* ' ? an am b i -s.-irier. a personal representative >f r ,\a!tv All Christians are in the "apostolic succession." If a Chris n can truly say. "I live, yet not 1. but Christ liveth in me," then he 13. as these men were. Christ's per sonal representative. ' ? ? ? Raw Material T*HE ASTONISHING thing about j Jesus' choice of these twelve is I his faith in them. Of course they ' had faith in him ? who would not? j But who would have faith in them? I There was not a single "outstand ing" man in the lot. Not one had v hat we would call a college educa tion, not a man of them had held , public office or was rich or famous for anything at all. There was Peter, an ordinary fish erman. much given to profanity; there was Matthew, a crooked bus iness man if ever there was one, , ' for no publican could be honest and keep from starving; there was Phil ip. as stupid a man as ever asked a foolish question; there were James and John, loud-mouthed (Jesus nick i named them the Thunder Boys ? "Sons of Thunder"), greedy fellows who could not be satisfied till they had elbowed their way ahead of everybody else; there was Thomas the born pessimist, the defeatist . . . What could have got into Jesus' i mind to select such men? ?and Judas Iscariot THE SECRET of Jesus' choice was , this: He selected his men not for what they were or had been, but ( for what they could become, filled with his spirit, transformed by his | friendship. It is so today, as al ways. The Kingdom of God needs men and women, but the raw hu man material found in or out of tho churches is too shabby and weak to build anything like the kingdorr of God. Yet after all, it was never humar weakness that has built the King dom. It is men re-born, re-madt by contact and companionship with Jesus the Lord of men . . . Now as then, Judas is among the Twelve Jesus must have seen good in Ju das, otherwise it would have beer mockery to choose him. But though that man was with Christ for jusl as long as the others, heard what they heard and saw what they saw, he ended by being a traitor. "Twelve > immortals"?? Nay, but one is the j immortal betrayer and suicide. ; Why? The reason was in Judas, i net in Jesus. But he wants volunteers, never forced labor. The Christ of Glory can be served by the humble; bol the free Christ can be served only by free men with open hearts. Ju das may keep hi* heart ahut if he will; Christ never forces his way in (Copyright by the International Coun cil of Religious Education on belv If of 40 Protestant denominaUons.
