Chris.
Jesus sent the appointed ministers ahead of Himself to do the things that He wanted them today. They were preparing the way for the Kingdom of God to be manifested. They knew the kind of life that they were going to be leading for a while because He told them. Are we ready to do the things that Jesus wants us to do?
