Our paragraph topic is: (The mission of the Apostles) Part 1.
Christ leaves the area and travels throughout the towns and villages teaching and preaching. He preaches in the villages. He teaches in the synagogues. He teaches in the market places. He teaches in the fields. He teaches the good news of the kingdom of heaven. And all the people where he preaches bring to him the infirmed. They bring to him the lame. They bring to him the sick. They bring to him the cripple. And he cures them all.
The disciples walk with Christ. They are at his side. They hear the gospel of the good news. They learn the messages of the preachings. They explain to others the meanings of the lessons. They are Christ's helpers. They are his apprentices. Did they know what they were in training for? Did they understand the reason that they were there? Did they accept their role in the the spread of the kingdom of heaven? This was their apprenticeship. This was their training period. This was their time to practice the teachings that they heard Christ preaching to the people. This was their time to learn from him the secrets and mysteries of the kingdom. For the time would come when the master would no longer be among them. The time would come when they would be tested. The time would come for them to stand or fall upon what was being given to them by Christ. This was their apprenticeship.
Christ calls today to those who hear his voice. Christ calls for workers. Christ calls for preachers, teachers, laborers, lawyers, doctors, moms and dads, children, and lay people, administrators, and presidents, ceo's and secretaries, garbage workers and sanitation workers, assemblymen and street walkers, pimps, and hustlers, murderers and thieves, and all the children of God who seek forgiveness and a new way of life. He washes anew. He cleanses the body and the soul and gives a new heart. He wants testimonies. He wants soldiers. He wants believers. He wants souls filled with his light to carry that light throughout the world so that all may see his goodness.
Come my brothers and sisters. Let us seek the Lord. Let us open our hearts to the Holy Spirit that he may teach us the ways of the Lord. Let us become new creatures in Christ and live by the precepts that he has given us.
