Matthew 10
1 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.
11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.
12 And when ye come into an house, salute it.
13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
14 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.
15 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.
16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.
25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

In Matthew 10, Jesus calls His twelve disciples and gives them power to cast out demons and heal sickness. He sends them to preach to the people of Israel, telling them to say, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand.” They are to heal, give freely, and trust God to provide for their needs.
Jesus warns that not everyone will welcome them. If they are rejected, they should shake the dust off their feet and move on. He tells them to be wise and gentle, because they will face danger and even be hated for His name.
But Jesus encourages them not to be afraid. God knows and cares for them, even counting the hairs on their heads. He says those who stand strong and confess Him will be saved and rewarded. We must love Jesus more than anything else, even our families.
Following Jesus may be hard, but it brings great reward and shows our love for God.

Finding Hope in God's Promise
In a world that seems to grow more chaotic by the day, people often find themselves struggling, losing hope, and feeling overwhelmed by uncertainty. It is during these times that we must remind ourselves of the promise of God through Jesus Christ. Our true hope does not lie in the temporary things of this world but in the eternal kingdom of heaven.
This world is not our permanent home. Our lives here are brief, like a passing moment. While we cherish the time we have and find joy in being with those we love, we must never forget that this world is fading, and our presence here is only temporary. The distractions and struggles of life can sometimes pull us down, leading us away from the One who sacrificed everything so that we could have eternal life.
Many have speculated about what would happen by now, wondering why certain events have not unfolded as expected. Yet, God's timing is always perfect. He has a plan that goes beyond human understanding, and His promises remain steadfast. Though the troubles of the world may impact our daily lives, they should never take our focus away from our ultimate goal which is the kingdom of heaven.
Through faith, we can find peace amidst the chaos. By trusting in God and His perfect timing, we can resist the distractions of this world and remain firm in our hope. No matter how uncertain things may seem, His love and promises endure forever, guiding us toward the eternal home that awaits us.
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
1 Peter 1:13 - Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming.
Hebrews 10:23 - Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for he is faithful that promised.

"Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.”
