"Receive/Reject"

“Receive/Reject”

Blessings folk!

Today’s reading:

Matthew 10:40
Luke 10:16
John 13:20

pastedGraphic
So often we do not speak of the things of the Kingdom because we fear the reaction of people.

We fear resentment.
We fear anger.
We fear rejection.
We fear appearing foolish.
We fear belittling.
Notice these are “all about me.”

These verses put things in perspective.

Matthew tells us that the one who receives us receives Jesus.
He who receives Jesus receives the Father.

In other words, if they believe the Truth of Jesus…

Luke gives more understanding.
The one who listens to you, listens to Me.
Listening to a Believer is listening to Jesus.
f they reject you they reject Jesus.
If they reject Jesus, they reject Father.

Finally, John shows us that we are sent by Jesus.

So, fear not.
You are sent by Jesus.
If they reject, they are not rejecting you. They are rejecting the Lord.
Do not allow fear or pride to dissuade you from proclaiming the Word of the Kingdom.
