Over-qualified?

Your suitability for a job can be determined by your qualifications and your ability to perform its requirements. Over the weekend the ability of Sian Massey to perform the job of assistant referee was called into question by two TV presenters. However, it could be that their ability to perform their jobs is now in question.
The world’s ability to feed its growing population is also under the spotlight following a study by The Foresight Report on Food and Farming Futures. It reveals that urgent action is needed to avoid global hunger.

And a deal to get British banks lending to small businesses has apparently stalled. So despite small businesses having the right ‘qualifications’ they’ll continue to struggle to get the credit to run until a deal is met.

But what about the qualifications and abilities of the people who Jesus recruited to be his followers; the disciples? Well this week on WordLive we’ll see Jesus call the first of them. An interesting selection – unqualified and lacking ability – but they did have faith and believed in Jesus. Perhaps that is all that is needed?
