Rev. Joshua Knippa of Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Nederland, TX joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study Matthew 10:16-33.
Jesus makes sure the disciples know what they are getting into. The apostles had a high calling that would involve flogging, persecution, and hatred from others. We see this play out in the book of Acts which shows us that God is faithful to His people. He reminds us to not fear, not because the road will be clear and easy, but due to His promise of caring for His creation. We pray that we may stay strong in the LORD and in the power of His might. “Lord God, the calling was high for the disciples and for us. Help us by Your Holy Spirit to trust in Your promises, no matter the persecutions, to confess the truth of Christ not in fear, but sent out with hope in Him. Lord have mercy. Amen”
