Whom I Send

What holds you back in evangelism or witnessing?  lack of confidence? rejection?  Would you feel more confident with a badge, or name tag, business card? What validates your office / standing when you attempt to carry out Jesus’ commands?

We are familiar what the risen Jesus said,  “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”  Matt 28:18

But what symbol of authority?  I mean, who are we?  What badge or name tag or uniform do we have?  What credentials do we have?

WE are the sent ones.  Let’s look into this statement.   Read John 13:20   “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me (Jesus); and he who receives Me receives Him (God the Father) who sent Me.”

Other Scriptures:  John 5:18-24;  Luke 10:1-16
