What are the blessings of belonging to a team of 12?
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
(John 1:14)
The 12 of Jesus experienced the blessings of belonging to a team of 12. Being in contact with the character and teachings of Jesus completely transformed their lives. It provided an environment of friendship and they got into contact with the vision of Jesus to redeem the whole world. This made the multiplication of disciples possible and it protected them in difficult times. Also an atmosphere of unity was created that made it possible for the first church to have a tremendous impact.
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.
(1 John 1:1)
