I didn't understand the number 4 reference for the "creation." Do you suppose Matthias that was chosen to take Judas' place is still involved in the mission of the 12 - to judge the house of Israel etc? I have to get "out" more! I didn't notice this blog before today - or the site for receiving a Bible verse daily. It reminds me of gospelverseaday.com that I've posted. Thanks for your blog and comments! Jerry Great comments!

Just to add on to your thoughts, I've always felt 11 is a wonderful number, because it speaks of companionship! Its 1 beside 1, and it reminds me that 1 (us as individual) was saved by 1(Jesus), and now 1 accompanies 1, which reminds me of the fellowship of believers, even as we remain in fellowship with God. Yes...11 is a wonderful number that reminds me both of our brokeness, which is made whole by God coming alongside us. Thanks Phil for sharing these thoughts, especially in the season of Lent.

I am reminded of the 11th chapter of Hebrews where flawed people looked to the Almighty God with faith, used by God to build His kingdom, and looked forward to the life God promised through His Messiah! I agree 11 is a number I want to be counted by! Great thoughts, Phil!
