Jesus Sends Out the 12

We should not worry or concern ourselves with this world…

Mark 6:6-13
6 Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village. 7 Calling the Twelve to him, he began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over impure spirits.

8 These were his instructions: “Take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in your belts. 9 Wear sandals but not an extra shirt. 10 Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town. 11 And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, leave that place and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”

12 They went out and preached that people should repent. 13 They drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them.

Shake the dust from your feet. Yes. Do not let even one speck of dust weigh you down or cause you to stray from your efforts in His name. How many times can you remember that you allowed the response of another to distract from doing the “right” thing? I know I can remember many.

The instructions from our Creator ate to shake the dust from your feet and move on. Keep throwing the seed. Keep sowing. Fear not what they will do or say, move on. Share anyway. Share His love for you. It is through the relentless, sheer, and dogged determination that you will spread His word to the masses. Just the way that Jesus did.

It will not be easy. Many will not understand. But if we push. If we press. If we persevere, He will win. The world will change. One spoken word at a time. You are the 12 now. #JesusSaves

Amen
