It was at the ordination of the Twelve that the first step was taken in the organization of the church....the Master Worker chose humble, unlearned men to proclaim the truths that were to move the world.

As in the Old Testament the twelve patriarchs stood as representatives of Israel, so the twelve apostles stand as representatives of the gospel church...During His earthly ministry Christ began to break down the partition wall between Jew and Gentile... that from Him would *flow forth love *and compassion, *cleansing the soul temple, and *making men like Him in character; that His truth, armed with the power of the Spirit, would go forth conquering and to conquer.

He goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto Him whom He would: and they came unto Him. And He ordained twelve, that they should be with Him, and that He might send them forth to preach.
Mark 3:13, 14
