Drafts play a significant role in sports. Colleges recruit high school students who excel in talent and ability.

Jesus would check SAT scores and review resumes if building a worldly kingdom. Instead, he is building a Kingdom for heaven. He chose impulsive Simon, Peter, and hotheaded brothers James and John, who wanted to destroy a town for rejecting Jesus. Jesus also chose the hated tax collector Matthew, a sinner and traitor.
