Matt 9:38
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. Matt. 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are SENT unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy † children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Matt 23:34 Wherefore, † behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: Mark 3:14 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, Luke 10:3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among † wolves. John 13:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. John 20:21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. My Father hath SENT me!!! The bottom line of what motivated the preaching of Jesus, My Father. Jesus loves His Father. Jesus loves those the Father loves. Jesus was SENT to express the Father's love. So send I you!!! Our Father has sent us, My Father hath sent me!! Jesus knew the visible and personal sacrifice of Himself was needed for Him to be believed," so send I you"! To walk among sinners, to be salt and light, to express the same Love as the Father and the Son! To labor, to be lambs, to be as doves. Mind my business? My Father hath sent me! To preach, to be a scribe, and to be wise among men. Luke 4:43 And he said unto them, † I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent. John 7:29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me. Over and over Jesus reminded people that He came with His Father's doctrine, His Father's mercy, for His Father's purpose. John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, † He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. So, why do we witness, why do I preach, why must I go across this country and around the world? My Father hath sent me, too. MJT
