Memory Verse: "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell" -Matthew 10:28
Notes: (v.2) the twelve disciples: Simon (Peter), Andrew, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew; James (son of Aphaeus) and Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot
-(v.6) Jesus called his disciples to go to the "lost sheep" and to preach the kingdom of heaven
-(v.16) Jesus compares the calling of his disciples to "sending [them] out like sheep among wolves," and tells them to be "as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves"
-(v.23) "You will not finish going through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes"
What does this mean, exactly?
-(v.32) "Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my father in heavin"
-(v.34-35) Jesus said that He has not come to bring peace, but a sword; he will turn families against each other
Jesus emphasizes how important it is to love Him above all and to take up his cross and follow him; for "anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of Me"
-(v.39) Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for His sake will find it
-(v.42) If you give even a cup of water to the little ones in His name, you will not lose your reward
Whom do I fear--those who destroy the body, or the One who can destroy both body AND soul?
Is Jesus my first love and first priority?
What does it mean to take up my cross for Jesus in my own life?
Am I losing my life for Jesus?
