God chooses simple people to do incredible things. Therefore, we should never look at a person base on what ‘we see’—his/her background, education, culture, job or status in the community as a factor for election. Jesus called ordinary people to follow Him. He didn’t choose religious leaders—He chose fishermen (Matt 4:18-22). He didn’t choose rich or widely successful people—He chose a tax collector. He didn’t choose people from the upper classes rather, He chose a Zealot and an embezzler. He does NOT choose people we would expect to change the world—He chooses people like you and me. This is who Jesus chooses when He goes looking for disciples to follow Him. We need to make sure not to miss these people when we go looking. God sees them as special and peculiar (Deut 14:2) and He is willing to use them to change our world and to build His kingdom!
