We can learn this example from Jesus through the way He empowered His disciples; what did He do (v.1). The call of Jesus was without force or coercion. Similary, the call is extended to all today. Will you choose to follow or not to follow? The names of Jesus disciples are listed in verses 2-4, write them out place them somewhere you can easily see and commit them to memory. The call of the apostles is a voluntary service and the mission is clear: seeking the lost sheep of the house of Israel and what else (v.7). Their task also include: (1) healing the sick, (2) raising the dead, (3) cleansing the lepers, (4) Casting out demons. And He promise us if we shall faithful ly obey His command to preach the gospel, signs and wonders will follw us. What are you doing to bring this promise to pass. You receive without paying so give without pay.
Prayer for the Day: Lord Jesus Help and empower me to be able to proclaim the gospel now and ever more.
