Apostle

Of course, we know who the apostles were in the Bible.

They were those that Jesus especially called on to be a part of His earthly ministry. And they became good friends with Him.

But what does that word "apostle" mean.

Let's take a look.

שָׁלִיחַ

The Hebrew word for "apostle" is שָׁלִיחַ (shali'ach) or שְׁלִיחַ (sheliaḥ). This term is used to refer to a messenger or one who is sent on a mission.

Ἀπόστολος (apóstolos)

The Greek word for apostle is ἀπόστολος (apóstolos), which means "one who is sent out" or "one who is sent off". This term is used to describe individuals designated to spread the Gospel and establish the early Christian Church. In a broader context, it refers to a messenger or envoy

Mark 6:30 And the Apostles, returning to Jesus, reported to him everything that they had done and taught.Mark 6:30

Do you think there are apostles today, in the world, at this time? I know that there are false teachers that call themselves an apostle.

But what about a true Christian. If he evangelizes and teaches the Good News of the Bible, can he be entitled to that title?

Someone recently said in a video about Charlie Kirk, that he was not a modern-day apostle.

But was he. Or was he not?

What do you think?

I think it is possible although I wouldn't say that he was for sure.

But look at what he did while he was with us. 

He spoke to many people about Christ.

He bore much fruit for God's Kingdom. 

Did he heal anyone?

I don't know. 

Did he do other miracles as the apostles of Jesus day did?

I don't know.

Is being a apostle of the gospel of Jesus

a requirement of being able to do miracles?

I don't know.

But its something to think about. 

And maybe when we get to heaven,

we will know for sure.

Thanks for coming today, Friends.

I apologize for not being here yesterday but my daughter came for a visit with me. And since I missed it, I am posting another word for you today. I pray that you found it interesting and perhaps thought provoking.

Have a good day, and God bless!
