The people in Jesus’ hometown...
The people in Jesus’ hometown had failed to respond to his messiahship, but he still intensified efforts to prepare for the kingdom. Jesus sent out his disciples in twos, with no food, no bag, and no money. They were allowed the clothes on their backs, sandals on their feet, and a staff to ward off robbers along the way. They were not permitted to take even so much as an extra undergarment. We easily recognize powerful gifts. A powerful speaker with captivating stories provides both entertainment and knowledge. We hear and we see.
