The instruction of the Lord



It is to ponder in depth, Jesus instructs his disciples and sends them to preach and heal all kinds of diseases, and also asks them to not carry anything for the road, or a cane, or pannier, nor bread, nor silver, nor you have two tunics each.

But, what is the reason for this order? - The powers that received the apostles were very large, were also a great temptation, because people have the habit of wanting to give back what they received, in other cases, they want to pay.

But we must take into account that God gives everything for free, and what you get for free,for free we have to give, because this power is a gift from God, therefore everything should be just to thank God.

If servants of the Lord, accepting gifts from people, God's grace would no longer be free, and the server would fall into the temptation,
because when you receive something in return for the grace of God, since it would be his custom, and give a false image of God, which is also a great insult to the Lord.


Luke 9




1
1 He summoned the Twelve and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases,
2
and he sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal (the sick).
3
He said to them, "Take nothing for the journey, 2 neither walking stick, nor sack, nor food, nor money, and let no one take a second tunic.
4
Whatever house you enter, stay there and leave from there.
5
And as for those who do not welcome you, when you leave that town, shake the dust from your feet 3 in testimony against them."
6
Then they set out and went from village to village proclaiming the good news and curing diseases everywhere.


The instruction of the Lord, is explained by analogy, in the following writing:

Proverbs 30

.
4
Who has gone up to heaven and come down again-- who has cupped the wind in his hands? Who has bound up the waters in a cloak-- who has marked out all the ends of the earth? What is his name, what is his son's name, if you know it?"
5
Every word of God is tested; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
6
Add nothing to his words, lest he reprove you, and you be exposed as a deceiver.
7
Two things I ask of you, deny them not to me before I die:
8
Put falsehood and lying far from me, give me neither poverty nor riches; (provide me only with the food I need;)
9
Lest, being full, I deny you, saying, "Who is the LORD?" Or, being in want, I steal, and profane the name of my God
