Luke 10:8-9
“Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what is set before you, cure the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God is at hand for you.'”
Jesus sent out His followers with a mission. It was not to indoctrinate people to believe in Him. It was not to make sure that they followed a new set of rules to get them into heaven one day. The mission was a call to action…to “cure the sick“…heal them of whatever was causing their brokenness…and make them whole. He told His followers to then tell those people, “The kingdom of God is at hand for you.” Not some day…but now! As followers of Jesus we have a mission to help heal all who are broken (which is everyone!) and be builders of the kingdom of God. When we take part…the kingdom of God is in the process.
