1 Jesus called the Twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. 2 He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick. 3 He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—neither staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats apiece. 4 Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there. 5 As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.” 6 They departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News, and healing everywhere. |

Giving the Twelve power, Jesus sent them out to proclaim the Good News. Their mission had a geographic dimension. He ordered them to travel light and invade the territories of the demons in order to reclaim the Chosen People. This was no longer the realm of Satan, but a preview to the Kingdom. When they arrived in a village, they preached and healed and exorcised. If the rejected them, Jesus wanted them to condemn the hamlet. Jesus sent them to extend his mission. That mission would last beyond his death and Resurrection. What if Jesus wanted to send you out to proclaim the gospel? What would you do? |
