The
Gospel According to Mark
Chapter
6:11-13
11
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart
thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet, for a witness
unto them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be easier for Sodom, or
Gomorrah at the day of Judgment, than for that city.
12
And they went out, and preached, that men should amend their lives.
13
And they cast out many devils: and they anointed many that were sick,
with oil, and healed them. depart thence, shake off the dust that is
under your feet, for a witness unto them. Verily I say unto you, It
shall be easier for Sodom, or Gomorrah at the day of Judgment, than
for that city.
Brethren:
Consider
this; that the twelve, (and we likewise), were, and are, ambassadors
of Christ. Now, ambassadors, have all authority given unto to them by
those that have sent them. They can speak in their name. If those who
they have been sent, reject the message, then they likewise reject He
that sent them.
Make
note, that they preached the Gospel of Christ, which is a Gospel of
repentance, and of the mercy and grace offered unto to those who are
lost, and condemned by sin. Now, we see in verse thirteen, how, they
performed all the works that Christ (the authority as mentioned
above), would do in person. However, and this is important. If one
did reject the message sent, along with the works, then the works
themselves were of no effect. If we recall in the preceding chapter,
how Christ was rejected in His home village, and how he was limited
to what He would do, then we can see how it is acceptance, belief,
and faith, that allow the workings of God to go forth.
