Beyond the limit

(4) Beyond the limit

That Paul is an apostle goes beyond the 12 apostles. He did not participate in Christ's public life, nor did he reappear. Besides, Paul who persecuted the church of Christ is still called as an apostle. Paul is an apostle who belongs to the same column as Peter. The church stands side by side and celebrates on one holiday. It is inferred from this point of view that the apostle calling is said to be in the life of Christ which beyond the limit by the time and the twelve apostles. If this is interpreted as it is, the apostles are called from all over the world from the beginning of the church to the end of the world, and they say and convey the salvation of Christ. Christ himself broke the narrow frame and opened it.

Moreover, the Lord's apostles are not confined to the past, but they are just forward looking forward and working for the church mission of preaching. There are things that can not be considered disqualified because the Lord decided that he had persecuted God's Church until now, and the Lord decided not to adopt 12 more, or because he had not revived it.
It is the size of the mind which tries to live in the mission to go to the whole world single-mindedly and preach the gospel, and to work together for the future without sticking to each other till then in the church.
