Jesus called His disciples and sent them into a world full of need. Matthew 10:1–20 reminds us that ministry is not just for a few; it’s for all of us. Wherever we are at—work, home, or in our neighborhoods—we are in ministry. We walk through Jesus’ instructions for the mission: for who (the lost sheep of Israel), the method (preaching and healing), and the mindset (traveling light, trusting God’s provision). Jesus also sets realistic expectations: this work involves real opposition. Rather than offering shallow encouragement, Jesus prepares His followers for resistance but also reassures them of His presence and authority. Jesus’ message is about mission, trust, and carrying the good news with both wisdom and courage.
