We see many vital and relevant truths revealed by studying the lives of the twelve disciples chosen to follow Jesus during His earthly ministry. Each of the twelve had something unique and important to contribute to the fulfillment of God's purpose toward mankind. In the case of each, we examine their lives from the time they first met Jesus until the time they died, highlighting Scriptural passages that reveal God's life-changing work in and through them that affected their generation and generations to follow. Similarly, we who have been chosen to affect our generation for Christ can benefit from accepting and applying these revelatory truths that empower us to manifest the Kingdom of God to our world in these last days, for the eternal glory of God
