Mark 6:7-13  Mark shifts his focus in this snapshot.. to Jesus sending out His twelve disciples.  

We see that first Jesus equips them for the job: "He was giving them authority over the unclean spirits." 

Then He instructs them to take no other equipment.. no bread, no bag, no money, and no extra clothing.  They could take a staff and sandals, and one tunic.  

Next, Jesus tells them what to do.. "Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave town."  If they weren't received or the people would not listen.. they were to "shake off the dust from the soles of your feet for a testimony against them." 

Verses 12-13 tell us that the disciples did what Jesus told them to do. They preached repentance and cast out demons and healed the sick. 

Jesus shows us more of Himself in this.. He shows us that He chooses individuals for the work of the Kingdom.   Jesus shows us that He will be all that we need to accomplish His work. He shows us that we may not always be received but we can still tell others about the Kingdom.  There was a simplicity in this mission.. simply go.. tell others about the Kingdom and the need for repentance.. and meet the needs that Jesus equips us to meet.  He says nothing about having money to give or special words to speak.. He sends and we go.. and His work is done and the Father's will is accomplished. 

Father in heaven, whatever work You have for us to do.. in Christ Jesus.. may You will be done. May Your Kingdom come.  May Your Name be praised. Amen.
