Bible Question (short): Whose Name is on #12 |
Question (full): The disciples drew lots in order to pick the 12th apostle (Acts 1:26). This they did prior to Pentecost, in spite of the fact that Christ had instructed them to go to Jerusalem and wait (Acts 1:4). We never hear of Matthias again. Later, however, we find that Paul becomes an apostle (see the first verse of the first chapter of most of his epistles). Paul clearly tells us that God chose him to be an apostle. Will Matthias or Paul be on the 12th foundation stone? If Paul, then the disciples must have erred in trying to move ahead of the Lord's will. |
