Matthew - Day 15: The Disciples Are Sent Out

Read Matthew 10:1-25

In today’s reading Jesus sends out His disciples to go spread the good news. He shares inspiring words with them, “Freely you have received, freely give”. This passage means everything you have been given is a gift from God, so use it to glorify God. In this passage, the disciples use their gifts to serve God. Begin thinking of ways you can glorify God with the gifts He has given you.

Q: Whom did Jesus call and what powers did He give them?

Q: What message were they called to preach?

Q: Write what you think “freely you have received, freely give” means in your own words. How can you apply it to your life?

Q: What did Jesus say the disciples would face? How did He say they should deal with them?

Q: Jesus talks about the Holy Spirit guiding them on the right thing to say. Does hearing that one of the characteristics of the Holy Spirit is that He is always ready to help guide you give you a peace and confidence in sharing with others? Why or why not?
