Jesus called the twelve and gave them power and authority to go out and proclaim the Kingdom of God. Just as He once stilled storms and cast out demons, He now sends His followers as messengers of that same power. We are reminded that being sent means trusting God to provide, not clinging to possessions or comfort. The disciples were to take nothing but the message of salvation, relying on God’s provision and the hospitality of others. The call remains for us today. We are not apostles in office, but we are still sent ones, bearers of the good news that Jesus saves.

We must go with urgency, proclaiming Christ with boldness and humility. When the world rejects that message, it is not us they reject, but the One who sent us. Yet for those who receive it, there is life and hope eternal. So let us go, proclaiming the Kingdom of God, trusting that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead now lives in us.
