Since Judas Iscariot betrayed and suicide, the Prophet was reduced to 11 people. While the apostles or disciples of Jesus should be 12. The twelve apostles have their job. So in the absence of Judas, then there is an abandoned task. Then Peter would like to have someone who can replace Judas and does his job as a messenger. Namely should Matias.
Matias comes from the word meaning matatias is God's gift or a gift of God. It is a follower of Jesus who became eyewitnesses to many things since John the Baptist tells us about the Messiah until Jesus was baptized by John. Although his name was only mentioned once in the Bible, but he chose Matthias to replace Judas is very sensible. Not all the apostles knew Jesus since he was baptized by John or have heard about Jesus when John the Baptist tells us about the coming of the Messiah. Other reason why is because it selected Matias faithful from the beginning. It is possible that after the death of Jesus and the rise of Jesus to heaven, Matias stop following the apostles in evangelism.
Many professed Christians among us, but they act like Judas. They sell Jesus for property, power and private interests. Should they have a duty to make all people become Jesus' disciples and preach the gospel. But because they chose as Judas, the god of course others may need it to be adopted and urapi tbis. We are a god choice to do it, because we always loyal to him. Maybe we are not perfect in doing his permission but we are committed to continue to change in the truth and his faithful follow him in any situation.
