About this Bible story
After Jesus' ascension, the remaining disciples felt the need to choose a new apostle. They prayed and cast lots, and 'the lot fell to Matthias' (Acts 1:26). This was an important moment for the early church as they sought to remain united in mission.
“The lot fell to Matthias.”
