Corrected Greek word.
An '''Apostle''' is one who is sent out by our Lord [[Jesus Christ]] to spread the [[gospel]] that he is the Messiah, that he is risen, and that we are being saved as a result.
The word ''apostle'' comes from the Greek αποστολοςἀπόστολος, literally meaning "one who is sent out." Originally a military term referring to a sortie sent out against the enemy, ''apostle'' has in the Christian context come to refer to a missionary spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ.
