Matthew 10:40……..Working
10:40 “He (believers) who receives you (12 Disciples. By way of welcoming, Or accepting the Gospel message.) receives me, (i.e. To accept Jesus and His Saving mission.) and he who receives me receives the one (God) who sent me.
Continued From Book
Warns how you can’t be in vital relationship with the Lord while not caring for His Church or fellow believers. ⇒ We find the same thing when people who say, “I believe in Jesus. I read the Bible. I love God. But I can’t stand the church. I don’t care much for the preacher’s sermon, I think it’s dull and boring. I’m not into ‘organized religion’. I prefer to go it alone.”
Additional Note & Applications
We read in the New Testament, and we proclaim the apostolic authority. So anyone who says, “I never really cared much for Paul. I don’t really like Peter that much or John.” Realize what you’re saying, because Jesus is saying, “He who receives you, receives Me. Conversely, he who rejects you is really rejecting Me.” It’s apostolic authority and the chain of command.
