May 8, 2011: Take Nothing – Michael Hidalgo

When Jesus tells his disciples to take nothing with them except a walking stick his instruction seems to move beyond just his disciples and begins to tell us something too. Besides their clothing and staff what did they have? Mark tells us they had authority over the Kingdom of Darkness. So often we feel inadequate with what we have. But we cannot forget that we have been sent out by Jesus too … we have something that proves to us that we need nothing.
