Twelve Ordinary Men
The [twelve apostles] were perfectly ordinary men in every way. Not one of them was renowned for scholarship or great erudition. They had no track record as orators or theologians. In fact, they were outsiders as far as the religious establishment of Jesus' day was concerned. They were not outstanding because of any natural talents or intellectual abilities.
On the contrary, they were all too prone to mistakes, misstatements, wrong attitudes, lapses of faith, and bitter failure-no one more so than the leader of the group, Peter. Even Jesus remarked that they were slow learners and somewhat spiritually dense (Luke 24:25).
