The number 12 represented the 12 tribes of Israel.
- The calling of Mathew a tax collector and Simon a Zealot meant that Jesus was universal
savior.
- Since Jesus prayed before the choosing of the 12 disciples, showed the importance of
prayer.Christians therefore should be committed to prayer.
- Jesus knew that he was going to die and therefore wanted to leave behind people who would
continue with the work. Christians therefore must be willing to carry on with Jesus work of
spreading the Gospel.
- Christians also learn that spreading the work of God is a continuous process.
- Jesus trained his disciples on the true cost of discipleship. Christians therefore should
undertake training in various aspects of Christian ministry
