Think of the sheer lunacy of Jesus’ method. The Lord bypassed the top draft picks, choosing instead a dozen run-of-the-mill guys. They had jobs. Some had wives. Several were foul-mouthed commercial fishermen. One was a politico. One had a problem with greed. One was a government employee. There was not a religious expert among them. Indeed, if you picked twelve guys at random from the back rows of your church, you’d probably assemble a more talented, educated group than Jesus did.
