Matthew 10:14 "And whoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when you depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet."
He asked them to travel around the world evangelising, and withdraw from areas unwelcome. And what did they do. They began establishing their little fiefdom giving birth to a new patriarchy.
John 18:36 Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. My kingdom is from another place.”He asked them to travel around the world evangelising, and withdraw from areas unwelcome. And what did they do. They began establishing their little fiefdom giving birth to a new patriarchy.
John 18:37 “Then You are a king!” Pilate said. “You say that I am a king,” Jesus answered. “For this reason I was born and have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to My voice.”
What is the Truth. What was his voice. Has it got lost in the noise. Are leaders of the church speaking his voice or busy managing their own.
