Reflect Bible Study:John 1:35-51

This past week at reflect Bible study we studied Jesus as He began to pick people for ministry. 

He had just been empowered for Ministry by the spirit and began with choosing his first converts. 
1. John 2.Andrew 3. Simon 4. Nathanael 5. Phillip 

The Question we asked ourselves was "why these men?". 

1. John "son of thunder" a seemingly angry person
2. Simon "shifting sand" Faith was constantly challenged
3. Andrew "brother of Simon" Andrew is not even a strong enough personality to be mentioned outside the context of his brother in the entire scope of the Bible. 

The answer can be found in Mathew 13:44-46 were we see the Saved as described as a pearl of Great price the God would sell all He had for. 

You see God gets determine your value not man, and we were bought with a High price and paid in full. The father sold all He had, you and I were bought with the blood of His son. 

We are a Pearl of Great Price to the Lord.
