Psalm139 inescapable god oil painting

Recognised

Matthew 10.40-42

Jesus concludes his teaching on mission by stressing the close identification between Father God, Jesus himself, those who go in his name, and those who receive his followers in the right spirit. He sends his disciples out to preach in his name, and they are to assume that God will provide for them.

How can we see the image of Christ in those around us and do we recognise ourselves as made in God’s image? This week we think about how we honour Jesus through the way that we love and serve others.
