Matthew 10

You can almost read these words that Jesus spoke to the twelve as words spoken directly to us. Like them, we are sent out to the world to share the Gospel of Christ. Like them, we are called to stand and give an account of Christ. Like them, we are given the words to speak by the Spirit.

Like the disciples, we may also be fearful of the world's reaction to our message, but Christ admonishes us to remember that we are extremely valuable to the Father. We should not be fearful of those that can only harm us physically. If we are going to fear something, fear God. He's the only one that can harm us both physically and spiritually.

We have no reason to not share Christ with the world, and for those that receive the message, they receive the reward of Christ.
