Who are used by Christ?

The teachers of the olden days when Christ began His ministry used to take the cream of the crop as their students; the intelligent, the gifted and astute students. The rest would then go back to their family business as carpenters, doctors, fishermen etc. When Jesus began His Ministry, he chose those that had been considered as chaff by the prominent teachers of the day, the common everyday people, as His disciples, a telling example. They were not masters of the law. It is evident that Christ came for sinners and works through them.

Paul was the most accomplished apostle having written many of the new testament books and being accredited with championing the spread of the gospel to areas outside the Hebrew lands. But before being commissioned into Christ´s mission, he was a persecutor, a blasphemer and a man of violence which he concedes himself in 1 Timothy 1:15-16,´Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus into the world for sinners – of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of the sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life.´ and he espoused the reason as to why He does that; so that we may be an example to others who may choose to believe in Him to know that no sin is too great to be forgiven.
