TEXT: Matthew 10:16-23
In the first section of this discourse, Jesus has expressed to the first disciples how they are to go about the business of spreading the message of the kingdom of God to the Jews. Now, He warns them that the road they are embarking on will not be an easy one. They will meet much persecution and suffering along the way. Scholars have noted that, from verse 16 onward, Jesus' discourse is not given specifically for the benefit of the disciples who are present with Him at the time. Instead, Jesus is looking ahead to all messengers who will be called to the harvest field after His ascension. In these verses, He indicates a worldwide ministry (including one to the Gentiles) and worldwide persecution. He also refers to His Second Coming which positions this passage as one that applies to contemporary believers upon whom, as Paul wrote, the end of the world has come.
