First


These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, “Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of the Samaritans, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And proclaim as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'" Matthew 10:5-7




Now when John heard in prison about the deeds of the Christ, he sent word by his disciples and said to him, “Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?” And Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.” 
Matthew 11:2-6

  1. Hi Sandi, I wanted to know more clear what it means "to the Jew first" and found this to be a good article on One For Israel. I think its a good article and hope if others are interested they might read it too!

  2. This is truly thought-provoking for a non Christian like me.
    Many of our teachings follow a very similar path...and I strongly believe that we can all learn from each other's faiths. :))
    Many thanks for sharing this...

    Have a great weekend xxx

  3. John knew then - but do you ever think about the fact they were cousins?

  6. Hi Sandi, after reading your post I opened to scripture that I believe is leading me to go to a church gathering that has been on my mind for some time. Please pray that I will be led by the Lord as to the timing. God bless.
