6And he was amazed at their lack of faith. Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village. 7Calling the Twelve to him, he sent them out two by two and gave them authority over evil spirits.
8These were his instructions: "Take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in your belts. 9Wear sandals but not an extra tunic. 10Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town. 11And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave, as a testimony against them."
12They went out and preached that people should repent. 13They drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them. Mark 6:6-13
How many of us go through our day on our own? I am a single person who handles exactly what I am meant to handle and complete without the help others. I also don't need anyone else, because at least when I do it myself, I know it gets done right. So a question comes to mind, how is that working for you? When Jesus sent out his disciples, he didn't send them out on their own, he sent them out two by two. Interesting that Christ knew that they could not do it on their own but needed to work in pairs. So, when you think of how much you can do on your own, think of how much you can do with someone else helping you. And when you think of telling someone about Christ and His impact on your life, think about how much more impact it can have when you do this with someone else. Also, remember, you are not always on your own. Two is always better than one, why do you think God gave man a companion.
Have a great weekend.
