The Apostle Sending the Disciple Who Calls
Contents
Mark 6:7-13,30 The calling disciple, the sending apostle
God wants everyone to be saved. But the condition is that you must believe in Jesus. What is faith? It is like a memorandum in which a critically ill patient gives up himself to the doctor and entrusts his life to the doctor before surgery. Knowing that you are a thorough sinner and that there is no way to save yourself except through the blood of Jesus Christ, you give up any effort to be saved by yourself and your own way, and surrender everything to Jesus Christ.
1. Believing in Jesus is the will of God
When we believe in Jesus and receive salvation, a change of status takes place.
1) Belonging is from a child of the devil to a child loved by God.
2) His identity was changed from a sinner to an innocent righteous person.
3) Destiny has been transferred from eternal judgment and death to life.
4) The mission can be called as disciples and apostles of Jesus.
5) The blessing sends the Holy Spirit to be with us forever and set us free in the truth. He rewards those who seek God.
Asians and Westerners have different thinking structures and DNA. Asians are emotional with what they can see or hold with their hands. Westerners make decisions and act without feeling when intellectual consent is achieved. Westerners proudly and proudly confess that they are Christians. When we feel that our lives are lacking, we are hesitant to proudly say that we are Christians. Do you believe in Jesus? If you ask me, yes, I believe. Answer. So are you saved? If you ask me, I hesitate, okay?? I can't answer. Many people come because they do not believe the word of God written in the Bible as the truth.
John 1:12 says, “To all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” Amen! Amen! ‘If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved’ (Romans 10:9).
2. The Disciple Madetes Called
God did not choose us only as His beloved children. He wants us to be disciples and to receive the Holy Spirit and send them as apostles for Jesus and the kingdom of God. What will the crowds get from Jesus? But what do the disciples learn from Jesus? How can I be like Jesus? Where will you be sent to be the person Jesus needed? I think.
The greatest glory in life is to be nurtured as a disciple of the Lord, and to be sent as a person pleasing to the Lord. Discipleship involves sacrifice, giving up, and letting go.
3. The Apostle Apostolos sent
When Jesus sends his disciples as apostles, everyone who sends them is responsible. The apostles make sure they have everything they need through the power to control demons and the house prepared to receive them. There is a difference between a disciple and an apostle. It is said that there are over 100 changes in the status of colonels and stars.
He told them to shake off the dust if they refused the apostle. We have called us to be the beloved children of God, to the disciples of Jesus, and to be sent from disciples to apostles. The mission fields we have been sent to are our homes, schools, workplaces, and regions. Those who believe in Jesus are a royal priesthood and have an apostolic mission sent into the world. Being used apostolicly is the most glorious thing in the world.
