"Apostleship"

An apostle was the original 12 that follow Jesus throughout his three years of ministry, and 11 of the 12 was used to launch Christianity into the world. In Mark 6:7 Christ sends His disciples two by two, and He gave them the power to heal unclean spirits, and in verse 30 they return to Jesus to report all they had done.  They also told Him what they had done, and in verse 31 Christ tells them come to a deserted place to rest a while. In verse 34 Christ and his disciples tried to get away from the crowd that came to find Him, and He looked at them like a sheep without a shepherd. His heart immediately filled with compassion.

In the book "12 Ordinary Men" by John MacArthur, he states apostleship begin like an internship where Christ would send His disciples out to let them test the water, and they came back with a report of great success. That great success was evident with the multitude of crowds following Jesus the way some adolescents would follow a rock star throughout the country. Christ gave them the power to cast out unclean spirits to be representatives of Him, and Christ gives all of His children when they accept Him the ability to be representatives of Him through His word, and actions that reveal our hearts.
