Not only is the selection of Judas’ replacement among disciples a bit random, (they rolled the dice on the choices that were before them), both the winner of roll and the runner up, do not appear again in Scripture. What’s more, we know very little about them beyond this passage. Perhaps this may give an occasion to think about those people in our lives we have forgotten, or who have had a role in shaping our faith but then seem to step out of lives or into other things.
Reading Acts 1:1517, 21-26
