The Character of Christ - RELATIONAL

Read Mark 3:13-19.

"And He appointed the twelve, that they might be with Him,..." (v. 14a)

Jesus didn't appoint the twelve so that He could teach them or even train them. It says that He appointed them to be with Him; to spend their lives with Him.
This is how I want to impact people--I want them to be with me. I want my life to speak volumes about Christ and the way He wants us to live. I want to teach relationally and not just propositionally.
