 11.19-

The disciples of Jesus get off track often, but our mission is to go and tell people the good news.  The good news is that Jesus lived and died on the cross and was resurrected.  He sent His followers out to tell people the good news that all sins can be forgiven.   Our best life is living in the grace of God.

Mark 16.

14 Later He appeared to the eleven disciples themselves as they were reclining at the table; and He reprimanded them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen Him after He had risen from the dead. 15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 The one who has believed and has been baptized will be saved; but the one who has not believed will be condemned. 17 These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not harm them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

Acts 13.

 37 but He whom God raised did not [q]undergo decay. 38 Therefore let it be known to you, [r]brothers, that through [s]Him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, 39 and [t]through Him everyone who believes is [u]freed [v]from all things, from which you could not be [w]freed [x]through the Law of Moses. 40 Therefore, see that the thing spoken of in the Prophets does not come upon you:

41 ‘Look, you scoffers, and be astonished, and [y]perish;
For I am accomplishing a work in your days,
A work which you will never believe, though someone should describe it to you.’”

42 As [z]Paul and Barnabas were going out, the people repeatedly begged to have these [aa]things spoken to them the next Sabbath. 43 Now when the meeting of the synagogue had broken up, many of the Jews and the God-fearing [ab]proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who were speaking to them and urging them to continue in the grace of God.
