THE MESSAGE:

Our text describes the commissioning of the Disciples by Jesus on a challenging mission to the lost sheep of Israel. This commissioning shows the disciples’ responsibility within their community and reminds us to focus on our spheres of influence and share the Gospel with those around us. We are all on a mission to our community and are instructed to avoid material possessions but rather put our trust in God’s provision as we live with a spirit of detachment as Jesus instructed the Disciples. Jesus described the mission as sending a sheep to the wolf’s den – preparing our minds that we are going to face potential rejections, persecution, and danger. Yet, Jesus equipped the disciples with clear instructions and powerful promises and their message was one of hope and healing, proclaiming the arrival of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Rejection and persecution were expected, but the disciples were not to respond negatively. This reminds us to stand firm in our faith while maintaining peace and love, even in the face of opposition. Despite the challenges, we are promised guidance and strength from the Holy Spirit. This emphasizes our reliance on God’s power and presence in our journeys.

PRAYER: Teach me Lord to be faithful to fulfill the mission You have sent me on, Amen!
