And
He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all the
demons and to heal diseases.
And,
He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to perform healing.
And
He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey, neither a staff, nor a bag,
nor bread, nor money; and do not even have two tunics apiece. Whatever house you enter, stay there until
you leave that city. And as for those
who do not receive you, as you go out from that city, shake the dust off your
feet as a testimony against them.”
Luke
9:1-5
Jesus
told the disciples to take nothing with them on their journey to proclaim the
Gospel. He wanted them to be
unencumbered. When we spend our life amassing stuff, we also
spend our life fixing stuff, storing stuff and replacing stuff. When we buy less stuff, we have more free
time to devote to our families, our friends and most of all to ministering to
others.
Which
in today’s techno, robotic society is a nice departure from the new
normal.
