We draw immense comfort in that which Jesus taught, when we do not know what to speak or say, that the Spirit of God will help us in that hour and need (Matt 10:19). We get challenged to go and do the same as the twelve. Yes, we at all times ought to be ready to proclaim the good news and also in all seasons be ready to give our reason for the hope we have. The sending out and the instructions is only ONE aspect of this chapter. There is another, this is where I would like to draw our attention to. They are the RECIPIENTS or the HOSTS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhatever town or village you enter,&nbsp;<strong>find out who is worthy in it<\/strong>&nbsp;and stay there until you depart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are we the worthy hosts of those who carry good news of Jesus? Verse 11 is very clear, to those who are sent out, that they are to find\/seek\/scout the region for someone who is worthy, and they are to&nbsp;<strong>STAY<\/strong>&nbsp;there until they depart, not until the hosts say \u201cI believe you\u2019ve overstayed your time, please be on your way.\u201d Verse 13 says, \u201cAnd if the house is worthy,&nbsp;<strong>let your peace come upon it<\/strong>&#8230;\u201d and further on in verses 40-42 we are told,&nbsp;<em>\u201cWhoever receives you receives me, and whoevers receives me receives him who sent me. The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet\u2019s reward and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person\u2019s reward. And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you he will by no means lose his reward.\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;The reward for being&nbsp; a worthy host is as fulfilling as one who is a guest. The blessing is mutual and it is not to be limited by a time frame. We have freely received, so shall we freely give!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Finally, ARE WE BEING A WORTHY HOST?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWhatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart.\u201d \u201cAnd whatever town or village you enter, find out who is [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":838,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-826","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-christian-lifestyle"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Are we being a worthy host?
