Though he has moved quickly before, Matthew dwells a whole chapter on Jesus' instructions to his disciples. I love that these same instructions apply to me and my witness to the world! There are many priceless words of wisdom in this chapter. Among them:
"...do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of the Father speaking through you." (vs. 19-20)
and
"So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but do not kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell." (vs. 26-28)
