The Reality of Ministry

Jesus' instructions are both descriptive of what took place with the Apostles while others are prescriptive for us to replicate today for the Great Commission. Once again, it’s important to know the difference because if we get these backward, we’ll wind up in a cult of some sort. Jesus provides reasons why there will be persecution for the disciples and hatred for us today. And in our culture and time, that is a timely message to understand and take home.
