5 Jesus sent out these twelve, instructing them as follows: "Do not go to Gentile regions and do not enter any Samaritan town.
6 Go instead to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 As you go, preach this message: 'The kingdom of heaven is near!'
8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.
9 Do not take gold, silver, or copper in your belts,
10 no bag for the journey, or an extra tunic, or sandals or staff, for the worker deserves his provisions.
11 Whenever you enter a town or village, find out who is worthy there and stay with them until you leave.
12 As you enter the house, give it greetings.
13 And if the house is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
14 And if anyone will not welcome you or listen to your message, shake the dust off your feet as you leave that house or that town.
15 I tell you the truth, it will be more bearable for the region of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town!
(Mat 10:5-15)
As we go to the world as Jesus’ messengers, we will learn how to trust in Him. As much as you entrust your life to Him, you will experience His provision. In your life of Jesus’ disciple, don’t be discouraged by rejections or failures. Just follow His instructions. Then, it is easy and simple.
Wherever you go, you were sent as the Ambassador of Jesus.
