When Jesus Calls Matthew 10:1-15
1. Jesus Calls Us by Name. (Matthew 10:1-4)
Revelation 3:5, “In the same way, the one who conquers will be dressed in white clothes, and I will never erase his name from the book of life but will acknowledge his name before my Father and before his angels.”
2. The Calling of Jesus is:
* Specific (Matthew 10:5-6)
Luke 9:51-56, “When the days were coming to a close for him to be taken up, he determined, to journey to Jerusalem. He sent messengers ahead of himself, and on the way they entered a village of the Samaritans to make preparations for him. But they did not welcome him, because he determined to journey to Jerusalem. When the disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?” But he turned and rebuked them, and they went to another village.”
* Supported (Matthew 10:7-10)
* Divisive and Disruptive (Matthew 10:12-15)
