And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction...And proclaim as you go, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'Matthew 10:1, 7 (ESV)
Jesus sends out his disciples with the clear instructions to proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of Heaven. He sends them on a mission of teaching and healing, to proclaim the message of God’s saving love to those who are in most need of hearing it. Today God has chosen you and I to do the Father’s business, to tell the good news to everybody. We have answered the call because we have experienced God’s grace and in response to His love and compassion to us.
Abba Father, You called us to proclaim the good news and to be fishers of men. Lead us and teach us to follow Your agenda to be an instrument of Your Love in our encounters with the world, so that Your Kingdom of truth and love may reign. In JESUS mighty name, Amen!
Dante Quinto
