sentence OK, direct verbiage from Scripture):

9:35-10:16
|
Jesus went about teaching, preaching and healing; he saw
multitudes as sheep having no shepherd, saith to disciples: harvest is
plentiful, labourers are few; He called 12 disciples, sent and commanded
them: go to lost sheep of Israel – preach, heal, cleanse, raise the dead,
cast out devils; be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

multitudes and fills us with the power to accomplish the mission.

|
10:17-28
|
Beware of men; when they will deliver you up, the Spirit
of your Father speaketh in you; when they persecute you in this city, flee
into another; fear not them which kill the body but not the soul, rather fear
him which is able to destroy body and soul in hell.
|
|
Principle:
|
Jesus warns His disciples that persecution will come and
gives practical advice for their safety but explains that this persecution
should not be feared.
Rather than fearing earthly persecution, we should fear
the Judge who has the power to throw us body and soul into hell.
This earthly life is temporary, our lasting reward – or
punishment – is eternal and we should be more concerned with the eternal.

every detail about us.
When we love Jesus more than anything, it’s a necessity to
