09 21 Luke 9.1-9 – Jesus begins a third phase of His ministry by sending out the disciples on a twofold mission. They were to heal others of diseases and demon possession and they were to proclaim the gospel. Jesus gave them His power and authority to do ministry. It is a valuable lesson for us to learn that when He gives us a task to do, He will also give us the tools to do it. They needed to learn as do we that the power and authority to do ministry is derived from and dependent on the Lord. In spite of how clear the message was, even with the authentication of their message through miracles, there were still many who had misunderstandings about Jesus.
