Text: Matthew 10
The apostles are commissioned. Going back to the end of chapter 9 the Lord said the work was too much and there needed to be more help harvesting the Israelites.
The disciples are hired and equipped (10:1)
The twelve “added to payroll” are named (10:2-4)
They are told the field they are to harvest is Israel (10:5-6)
They are instructed on what tools to use for the harvest (10:7-8)
They are told the harvest will have its own rewards (10:9-10)
They are told how to distinguish wheat and tares (10:11-15) …the axe is laid to the root…
Staying faithful through the dangers in the harvest (10:16-39)
By the way, you’ll find other laborers in the field as well (10:40-42)
