And things which are despised,
hath Gad chosen. (1 Corinthians 1:28)
Notice that all the men whom
Christ called around Him were weak men in a worldly sense. They were all men
without rank, without title, without position, without wealth or culture.
Nearly all of them were fishermen and unlettered men; yet Christ chose them to
build up His kingdom.
When God wanted to bring the
children of Israel out of bondage, He did not send an army; He sent one
solitary man. So in all ages God has used the weak things of the world to
accomplish His purposes.
