The Disciples

The 12 disciples were ordinary men called to an extraordinary mission: to follow Jesus and share His message of love, grace, and redemption with the world. Each disciple had a unique story, background, and personality, yet they all shared a common purpose – to walk with Jesus, learn from Him, and make Him known.

The disciples came from various walks of life – fishermen, tax collectors, political activists, and common laborers. Despite their differences, they were united in their commitment to Christ. Some were outspoken, like Peter, while others were quieter, like James the Lesser. Some, like Thomas, struggled with doubt, while others, like John, found a deep, unwavering love for Jesus.
