—Mark 6:7-13
by: Jerry Johnson.
Jesus has called us to proclaim a Gospel ministry to the whole person. There are a couple of characteristics that we can apply from the disciples' mission in Mark 6. First, we need to see that repentance is involved. There are many churches that stress love and grace so much that they forget to tell people that following Christ requires a turning from sin. The other quality I notice is their healing touch, both upon those possessed by demons and affected by physical diseases. Do we have enough compassion to minister to the felt needs of people around us?
