don't give up

Matt 10:5-8

Jesus sent out the twelve apostles with these instructions: “Don’t go to the Gentiles or the Samaritans, but only to the people of Israel—God’s lost sheep. Go and announce to them that the Kingdom of Heaven is near. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure those with leprosy, and cast out demons. Give as freely as you have received!

woah...Jesus seems to be selfish here in this verse, but in actual fact, Jesus was speaking to the israelites, God's people, to know their authority that God has given to them, and its time for them to believe in it so that they can start to share to the gentiles, other people.
