Matthew 10:1-15
Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every disease and sickness.
Their mission is go to the lost sheep of Israel. Not Gentiles.
The kingdom of heaven is near.
Do not take along any gold or silver or copper in your belts, for the worker is worth his keep.
The choice and training of this inner ring of disciples was a vital part of Jesus' mission.
The word 'apostle' means 'messenger', and the task of spreading the word about Jesus would rest with them after his death.
Why?
The authority is more power than any physical material but can not be purchased healthy and spiritual body. Christian has the authority from the Lord if we follow his way and word.
First step to Jesus disciple began from Israel, for they are their neighbor. Preaching Gospel is starting from our neighbor. They are living with us, then go more far away.
The good news is 'The kingdom of heaven is near': It is the chance for everyone to get into the kingdom of God, but only one way to their - repent and follow the way of Jesus.
It is peace at that moment so they do not have to bring any money for begs for themselves.
How?
The kingdom of heaven is near, be repent and follow Jesus or there is not much time to wait!
