Mt 10: Imagine a Radical Eldership that Reached Out to the Out Casts in this Dark World

Where Are the Twelve Elders?  Why Are You not Reaching out to the Most Needy and Bearing the Deepest Burdens?

Like the Three in the Triune Majesty in economic distinction but co-equal touching deity: 

1.)  St. Peter:  To decrease so Jesus increases, but also to use impetuosity to proclaim the Father's will of "Jesus is the eternal God-man."  (Senior Elder 1)

2.)  St. Andrew:  To be brothers with St. Peter, but also the first called to be the last: namely, Peter, James, John and Andrew. (Senior Elder 2)

3.)  St. James brother of St. Peter and Andrew, but also seek the first to put the death the deeds of the flesh and go and be Bishop of Jerusalem.  (Senior Elder 3)

4.)  St. John brother of St. James, but also seek to live out our day full of days with youthful desire for the Lord.  (Senior Elder 4)

5.)  St. Phillip rides on the white horse of Gandalf, but he does not put strength in the power of horses but in the Spirit of God.  (Senior Elder 5)

6.)  St.  Bartholomew or Nathanael was the first to proclaim besides the Virgin Mary and John Baptist in the New Testament the deity of Jesus Christ.  (Senior Elder 6)

7.)  St. Thomas is called to call people to faithful repentance, but he always calls all the doubters.  (Senior Elder 7)

8.)  St. Matthew is good at handling money, but also taking up the pen and writing.  (Senior Elder 8)

9.)  St. James the son of Alphaeus would be someone who followed the Lord no matter the cost.  (Senior Elder 9)

10.)  St. Thaddaeus (who wrote Jude) takes up the counter name of Judas Iscariot to truly repent but also contend for the faith of God.  (Senior Elder 10)

11.)  St. Simon the Zealot was someone who is dedicated to radical good, but a use of foredetermination as a way to always be up to good things.  (Senior Elder 11)

12.)   (Judas Iscariot the one who betrayed Him).  There is a context to those outwardly called to Christian ministry, because we don't know their hearts.  Let seek to have someone inwardly called (that knows Jesus redemptively) and someone outwardly called (that is involved in preaching, teaching, prayer and counseling) like Matthias and Antipas.  (Senior Elder 12)

....THE SLAVE OF ALL...
