Jesus' disciples had just seen Him go into Heaven after commanding them to be witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria, and the uttermost parts of the earth. By the way this is our command too. Are we up to it? Are we doing it?
After that we see them all with one accord in prayer and supplication. By the way things happen when Christian believers pray with one purpose in mind and that is to glorify God, and get this business done.
The next business at hand was to fill the place as an apostle where Judas who walked next to Jesus for three years but never had a change of heart, and finally sinned against Christ by betraying Him to the enemies. They finally had to make a choice from two men who walked continually with Christ during the years of His ministry. The choice by lot fell on Mattias who became the twelveth disciple. That was the last of the era of casting lots to choose men. From now on, the Holy Spirit was to move people in choices of servants and services. Since I brought this up, has the Holy spirit ever moved you to do anything for God and Christ? Please ponder this last question. God needs men who are led along by the Spirit of God.
