Hmm. Jesus has an interesting motivational speech today. Can you imagine what it would be like if you tried to recruit using the same speech from Matthew 10?
Girl Scout Den Mother: “As you enter the house, give it your greeting. If the house is worthy, give it your blessing of peace. But if it is not worthy, take back your blessing of peace. Whoever does not receiver you , nor heed your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet. Truly I say to you it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.”
Ok, that’s actually just funny. But if you go on, the rest of the passage isn’t too thrilling. A lot of stuff about how bad it’ll be out there. There’s no Vince Lombardi-esque motivation. Just Jesus laying it out plainly: “They hate me and they’ll hate you even more.” Uncle Sam probably has an easier time recruiting Baghdad security forces. And oh, PS: hate your mother.
C’mon huddle up. Hands in the middle. Team on three.
