Don't stop listen until The Lord stops talking...

Matthew 10:5-8 These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give. In these marching orders, Jesus gives the who and where, the what, and the why. They were to go to only thier fellow Jews who lived in Jewish territory. Whew! No Gentiles or pigs!!!. They were to proclaim the Kingdom of Heaven. Easy enough, that's all they had heard Jesus talk about day after day! And they had seen Him do enough miracles that they might have that down pat. But with these things, the mind can wander - me, the great preacher, doing great miracles!!! We can very easily stop listening, start daydreaming, and miss the last part. Why are we to do this? because we are recipients of God's grace. The natural response to receiving what He gives is to give it to others. It is not because we are so worthy or so great (especially as we compare ourselves to the "heathen.") He has given. His Kingdom is a kingdom of followship His standards: Freely Give.
