Unschooled Disciples

"When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus." ~Acts 4:13

To me, this verse seems to be one of most empowering in scripture. Peter and John, through the spirit, stood before the Sanhedrin and declared the resurrection of Jesus. But they were hardly qualified and the crowd knew this.

Despite their lack of qualification, God did something amazing and it transformed lives!

The disciples (apostles at this point in Acts) were God's chosen team. He shared with them so much and they would eventually form the foundation for the future church. However, they were the last people we would have expected to be the chosen ones of Jesus' inner circle.
