The Apostles Sent Out

The Apostles sent out
“He called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every disease and sickness. 
These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John;  
Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;  
Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.  
Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.  
As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’  
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
Do not take along any gold or silver or copper in your belts;  
take no bag for the journey, or extra tunic, or sandals or a staff; for the worker is worth his keep. 
“Whatever town or village you enter, search for some worthy person there and stay at his house until you leave.  
As you enter the home, give it your greeting.  
If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you.  
If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.  
I tell you the truth, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.”
                                      Matthew 10:1-15.
Someone asked me once can Christians today do all that was in the Bible. Drive out evil spirits, heal the sick.
My answer is yes. If God is the same yesterday today and forever then he must allow his followers to do the same in every generation.
Some point to this scripture Matthew 10:1-8 to say its proof we can do these things. They are in my opinion wrong.
Matthew 10:1-8 is Jesus talking specifically to his disciples. He is sending them out for the first time and giving them the “authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every disease and sickness.”
Jesus makes clear the parameters of the disciples ministry for this first time out. They can’t go to the Gentiles or the Samaritans. Only to the “lost sheep of Israel” 
The Gospel was first to be preached to the Jews then the rest of the world. At this point the disciples were to go to the Jewish world first.
At a later time they would go to the gentiles.
He makes it clear they are to go out in faith trusting God for their needs and if people are deserving they are to let their peace rest on that place if not they are to sake the dust off their feet when they leave the town.
Noting that it will be “more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.” if they reject the message of the disciples.
Today we I believe can do everything the disciples did and I believe we need to act as they did.
They had one job and that was to spread the gospel message to anyone who would listen. They were to open a dialogue between themselves and the people of Israel and point them to heaven.
As a Christian do you have an open dialogue between yourself and the none Christians around you?
Think about it.
