Matthew 10

Jesus has just (chapter 9) said that others need to help with God's spread of healing love. Now, he sends out his friends. The names of the 12 disciples vary a little in the New Testament. Jesus tells them to travel unburdened (a message to us who have so much stuff) and to stick with the Gospel message and healing activity. Notice that he does not set up a bunch of church activities, just improving the condition of others. Don't be a burden in your travels and realize that some will not want you there. Trust God and not your own wits. You will be tested.
