Let Your Light Shine!

Happy Take The Kingdom To The Lost Thursday!  Gooood morning Disciples of Christ. In Matthew 10 the Lord delegates His authority and work to his 12 apostles giving them supernatural abilities even prior to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The specific work was to bring the kingdom of God to the lost sheep of Israel and to establish the foundations of Christ's Church. All that was done was done as an extension of Jesus Christ in fulfillment of the scriptures. Once the promised Holy Spirit was poured upon the Earth even the gentiles received the gifting to continue this work. Paul was amazed by this and told his brothers in Israel. Those apostles who endured to the resurrection of Jesus Christ clearly received salvation with the only exception being Judas who betrayed. This proves it's not our gifting for the miracles we do that saves us, but our complete and  utter Trust to endure to the end in our belief in Jesus. We will be persecuted and even killed for His Name sake! Still, Today may we pick up our cross and follow Jesus with complete faith in His work, which cannot be stopped until it is conpletely accomplished! God so loves you...gary...Matthew 10:22  And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
