Because alot of people in this world today are afraid of Jesus and what he could do for them. The people that accept Jesus are the ones that want to live for him day in and day out. By: Myra Gonzalez - April 19, 2007 - Public Category: Jesus Sends Out the Twelve

Because they are afraid. The ones who oppose him are the ones who is afraid of the truth. They truth about who Jesus is and why he is here. So they denies him. The ones who are not afraid. Loves him so much that they do whatever He ask of them.. Obey his father commandments and love Him. By: Jnarnot - April 19, 2007 - Public Category: Jesus Sends Out the Twelve

I believe that to be able to love God is a gift from God. If He doesn`t open our eyes, we can`t see Him. Like he hardened Pharoah`s heart. We have to be able to love Him first before He will let us know Him. We have to get outside our `self` and submit wholly to Him. People who oppose Jesus as Lord are Self -ish, therefore arrogant, and afraid. By: Patty - April 19, 2007 - Public Category: Jesus Sends Out the Twelve

The world is full of evil people who think of themselves so much that they don`t find space to accommodate Jesus teaching through the disciples and the christians. The teaching of Jesus are so challenging to the way we do things in this world that we have to oppose the teaching so that we force in our own way of living.

What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on the housetops. Don`t be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.
Some many are afraid of proclaiming the Kingdom and facing all the persecutions etc. Some hold onto Jesus as their rock and follow their leader with Faith. Ready to face whatever they must face. For the Love of Jesus and so of the Lord. Love leads them on. Whatever happens they are ready to face the raging storms should they come.

He called to himself
his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to
cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness. Now the names of the twelve
apostles are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; Andrew, his
brother; James the son of Zebedee; John, his brother; Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas;
Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus; Lebbaeus, whose
surname was Thaddaeus; Simon the Canaanite; and Judas
Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
Jesus sent these
twelve out, and charged them, saying, "Don't go among
the Gentiles, and don't enter into any city of the Samaritans. Rather, go to the lost sheep of
the house of Israel. As
you go, preach, saying, 'The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!' Heal the sick, cleanse the
lepers, and cast out demons. Freely you received,
so freely give. Don't
take any gold, nor silver, nor brass in your money belts. Take no bag for your journey,
neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his
food. Into whatever city
or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy; and stay there until
you go on. As you enter
into the household, greet it. If the household is worthy, let
your peace come on it, but if it isn't worthy, let your peace return to
you. Whoever doesn't
receive you, nor hear your words, as you go out of that house or that
city, shake off the dust from your feet. Most certainly I tell you, it
will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of
judgment than for that city.
"Behold, I send you out as
sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents, and harmless
as doves. But beware of
men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues
they will scourge you. Yes, and you will be brought
before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the
nations. But when they
deliver you up, don't be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be
given you in that hour what you will say. For it is not you who speak, but
the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
"Brother will deliver up
brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against
parents, and cause them to be put to death. You will be hated by all men for
my name's sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved. But when they persecute you in
this city, flee into the next, for most certainly I tell you, you will not
have gone through the cities of Israel, until the Son of Man has come.
"A disciple is not above
his teacher, nor a servant above his lord. It is enough for the disciple
that he be like his teacher, and the servant like his lord. If they have
called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his
household! Therefore
don't be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be
revealed; and hidden that will not be known. What I tell you in the darkness,
speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on
the housetops. Don't be
afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul.
Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.
"Aren't two sparrows sold
for an assarion coin? Not one of them falls on the
ground apart from your Father's will, but the very hairs of your head
are all numbered. Therefore don't be afraid. You
are of more value than many sparrows. Everyone therefore who confesses
me before men, him I will also confess before my Father who is in heaven.
But whoever denies me
before men, him I will also deny before my Father who is in heaven.
"Don't think that I came to
send peace on the earth. I didn't come to send peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man at odds
against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a
daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man's foes will be those of
his own household. He who loves father or mother
more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more
than me isn't worthy of me. He who doesn't take his cross
and follow after me, isn't worthy of me. He who seeks his life will lose
it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it. He who receives you receives me,
and he who receives me receives him who sent me. He who receives a prophet in the
name of a prophet will receive a prophet's reward: and he who receives a
righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous
man's reward. Whoever
gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the
name of a disciple, most certainly I tell you he will in no way lose his
reward."
