Daily Bread

1. Stay with one person (11-13)

Jesus sent disciples out on a short field trip to teach them the basic principles of bringing the gospel to the world. One person is important in God's history. So Jesus told his disciples to search for one worthy person in each town and stay with him until they left that town. If one person can be changed by the gospel, then the whole town (or campus or nation) can be changed.

2. Sheep among wolves (14-16)

If there is not one worthy person, then the disciples were told to shake the dust off their feet and leave. To reject God's messenger and his message is to invite God's judgment. God's servants must not compromise God's word. Jesus knew that the world into which he would send them was full of wolves. Disciples must also know this. But they must not fight spiritual battles with worldly weapons. They must be as shrewd as serpents and as innocent as doves.


Prayer: Lord, raise up one worthy person on this campus, in this city, in this nation.

One Word: Find one worthy person
