How did jesus pick his 12 disciples?

Answer 1

Jesus chose the average everyday believer right in their own world or lifestyle. Many of the disciples were fisherman. He did not pick the elite or the rabinnical educated or the Pharisees who thought they knew everything when they knew nothing of God in reality. He chose the everyday man so they could learn the simple lessons of the Kingdom of God and spread those simple teachings to the rest of mankind. The Average Joe or Jane will listen to his neighbor, co-worker, storkeeper or postman long before they will listen to a pompous person who doesn't even know what it is like to be ordinary. Ordinary is best. Jesus blessed the kids, told them the story of faith and eternal life and those kids tell the story so simply without fear. Think how simply Billy Graham spoke to everyone....."The Bible says....". He used everyman stories of everyday things so we could grasp the simple love of God. That is why Jesus chose the fisherman, the women who loved to listen to Jesus, and the children that knew love when they saw it.
