Today we are reading Acts 1. In this chapter we read about the replacement of Judas with Matthias. ”So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us—one of these men must become with us a witness to his resurrection.” And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias. And they prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.” And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.“ Acts 1:21-26 ESV Peter is the leader of the disciples. By the Holy Spirit he guides the group in the replacement of Judas. What are the qualities and qualifications they are looking for? How is Judas described? What do you know about Matthias? When we go through the Call process to find a pastor who guides us? God continues to watch over the Christian church. May He use you to bless us all. Pastor Tim
