He summoned his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits with power to cast them out and to cure all kinds of diseases and sickness.
Mt.10:1
Jesus' pity and compassion for the people prompts him into action. He sends out the twelve, the labourers in the harvest, to do what he was doing at the start; preaching, casting out demons and curing all kinds of diseases and sickness.
The commission hasn't changed or stopped. If I want to be a labourer in the harvest, and what professing Christian wouldn't, I should be preaching, casting and curing in my sphere of influence. Jesus didn't die for a powerless Church.
Come Holy Spirit. Fill me with power to preach, cast and cure that Jesus is glorified.
