For the Harassed and the Helpless

Jesus travels through towns teaching, healing, and proclaiming the kingdom. Moved by compassion for the crowds, He tells His disciples that the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. He then appoints the twelve and sends them out with authority over unclean spirits and disease to freely proclaim the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus Was a Bad “S”

Jesus didn’t call the most respected person in town—He called Matthew, a tax collector. In Matthew 9:9-13, we discover a Savior who meets people where they are and extends mercy instead of condemnation. “I desire mercy, not sacrifice.”

Life With No End Game

Jesus promises the Holy Spirit, the Advocate, who abides with believers as the Spirit of truth, guiding and dwelling within those who love Him and keep His commandments.

When he returned to the people he reported that God had raised them up on eagles’ wings and brought them out of Egypt so that they might be a…
