The second incarnation

Matthew 10:1-10

1. How were Jesus' disciples expected to emulate their Master?

These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: "Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. As you go, preach this message: 'The kingdom of heaven is near.' Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. Do not take along any gold or silver or copper in your belts; take no bag for the journey, or extra tunic, or sandals or a staff; for the worker is worth his keep."

Matthew 10:40-42

2. How do people still welcome Christ today?

If anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is Christ disciple, he will certainly not lose his reward.

We can still welcome Christ to people by receiving ourselves for others for Jesus said "He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives the one who sent me."
