Marching Orders

So they set off to preach repentance; and they cast out many devils, and anointed many sick people with oil and cured them.
Mk.6:13

Jesus commissions the apostles for their first mission trip. They are to do what he did. Preach. Cast out. Heal.

This remains the marching orders for the Church today. To call myself a member of the Church, I need to be preaching, casting out and healing. The world is still aching to hear the Good News, be freed from demons and be healed of its diseases. 

Grab your staff and let's go!

Jesus, I have received without cost. Help me now give.
