“As the Father has sent me, so send I you. I send you to be hurt, to be rejected, to suffer and to bleed. I send you to do My kind of ministry: feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick and prisoners, cast out demons. Call for repentance! Announce the good news that the Kingdom has already arrived! Take up your cross. As you encounter life you will need My cross on which to die. You do not merely die on your personal cross; you die with Me on Mine. Remember, I showed you how to do it on a hill outside Jerusalem.” Can you not hear Jesus calling us to this?
