Today let's reflect on some verses that give us a picture of the gifts and characteristics of those who hold the office of apostle.
"Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know" (Acts 2:22).
"The things that mark an apostle- signs, wonders, and miracles- were done among you with great perseverance" (Second Corinthians 12:12).
"To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder, a witness of Christ's sufferings and one who also will share in the glory to be revealed" (First Peter 5:1).
"So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by enabling them to do miraculous signs and wonders" (Acts 14:3).
Miracles. Signs. Wonders. Appropriation of God's glory. It's all part of the work of the apostle.
