The 12 apostles had different personalities but they had one thing in common they were all followers and disciples of Jesus. In their lives and ministries we see them going through some of the same challenges and experiences we all go through.
They are often confused and don't completely understand the teachings of Jesus. At times they are in competition with each other, they have personal prejudices and preferences on how to do ministry.Here is an interesting assessment of the apostles by the Jordan Management Consultants in a letter written to Jesus.
Thank you for submitting the resumes of the twelve men you have picked for management positions in your new organization. All of them have now taken our battery of tests; and we have not only run the results through our computer, but also arranged personal interviews for each of them with our psychologist and vocational aptitude consultant.It is the staff's opinion that most of your nominees are lacking in background, education, and vocational aptitude for the type of enterprise you are undertaking.Simon Peter is emotionally unstable and given to fits of temper. Andrew does not have qualities of leadership.
The two brothers, James and John, sons of Zebedee, place personal interests above company loyalty. Thomas demonstrates a questioning attitude that would tend to undermine morale. We feel it our duty to tell you that Matthew has been blacklisted by the Greater Jerusalem Better Business Bureau. James, the son of Alphaes, and particularly Simon the Zealot have radical leanings, and they both registered a high score on the manic-depressive scale. Thaddaeus is definitely sensitive, but he wants to make everyone happy.One of the candidates, however, shows great potential.
He is a man of ability and resourcefulness, meets people well, has a keen business mind, and has contacts in high places. He is highly motivated, ambitious, and responsible. We recommend Judas Iscariot as your controller and right-hand man. All of the other profiles are self-explanatory.
