Matthew 10 is called by Bible scholars Jesus’ missionary discourse. For forty-two verses Jesus speaks openly and candidly about what it means to be Sent into the world to proclaim that in him the rule and reign of God has come near to those who believe. Jesus pulls no punches as he describes the challenge of following him. Though his words are daunting, the courage he provides is even greater. Three times he says “fear not” (v. 26, 28, and 31). Everyday we are empowered to live the Jesus’ Adventure with fearless faith that reveals itself in our words, our actions, and our attitudes.
