"So they remained for a long time, speaking boldly for the Lord...."
So often when we read of the early disciples, we think that we are not at the same level as them. That somehow they must have been holier or better or more equipped to do the ministry of Christ. After all, look at Paul and how he heals the crippled man, but then claims to be a mere mortal. We find it hard to beleive that we might be capable of such healing.
But, friends, we are just like Paul. We are called to be vessels of God's healing love and grace. Scripture proclaims that God works through and among humanity. We are not an exception. By our words and deeds, by our actions and reactions, by our choices and responses, we are to proclaim the love of Christ. Our lives display the healing love of Jesus.
God doesn't call the qualify. God qualifies the called.
