Today’s Thought “The Foundational Church” G. Ward

Matthew 10

⁵ These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them, saying, “Do not go on a road to Gentiles, and do not enter a city of Samaritans; ⁶ but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ⁷ And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’

 

Some have made attempts to complicate God’s message, while those of us pursuant to the actuality of it – unfolds its perfect cadence (2 Cor.5:20). These first 12, selected by Christ were primarily assigned to God’s covenant people (cf. *Ex.20:3, *Deut.6:4), however, upon encountering any inquiring of such a magnanimous assignment given, they would also provide God’s Kingdom reality of a promised Savior’s arrival.

Today’s era of believers is with a heavenly compelling no different. The lost sheep however, has become transcendent to a prior lineage (Matt.28:19) and whereas the term “lost” is esoteric to any exposed to false teaching and given over to deciphering such holy truths on their own (1 Cor.2:14), even that to which jeopardizes their eternal posture in/through the Only Redeemer, WE’RE CALLED. Other commissions ultimately won’t matter; because the Savior doesn’t need your help – HE PROVIDES, and that’s more than enough (cf. John 6:44).
