Lesson 4081

 (Lesson 4081)(03-25-23) Matthew 10:9-15

    “ Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat. And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. And when ye come into an house, salute it. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.”

    In today’s lesson, Jesus made it clear to His apostles that they would be amply provided for, and that they were only to preach to those who were willing to hear their words.

    That same rule applies to the children of God today. It is always okay to try to teach the amazing, saving grace of God to everyone. But we are only bound to preach to those who are willing the hear. We are to turn our backs on those who reject the word of God, leaving to His judgment.~
