Jesus said to his Apostles: “As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give. Do not take gold or silver or copper for your belts; no sack for the journey, or a second tunic, or sandals, or walking stick. The laborer deserves his keep. Whatever town or village you enter, look for a worthy person in it, and stay there until you leave. As you enter a house, wish it peace. If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; if not, let your peace return to you. Whoever will not receive you or listen to your words– go outside that house or town and shake the dust from your feet. Amen, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.”—Matthew 10:7-15

“Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give.” That simple statement applies to every person ever born. It’s easy to overlook the multitude of blessings we’ve been given. Every breath, every smile, and even the unnoticed functions of our bodies are blessings from God. We look at our hands and move our fingers, yet we can’t quite grasp how it all works. We contemplate those movements with a brain, which science still doesn’t understand.

The Lord has given more than we will ever know, but this truth we know. God loved us so much that He gave His only Son to save us. Christ Jesus was born, lived, healed our physical wounds, and took upon Himself our sins. He died for us and rose again, and the world needs to be reminded of that Truth.
