Jesus is the great teacher and formator of disciples. The instruction of
Jesus to the disciples in their training as preachers and healers is the
best ever given. We are to have a support group, a partner to share the
journey. As we bring to various communities a message of love,
familihood under God the Father and Jesus as our brother, we will be
received by some and rejected by others. For those who want the benefits
of racial sobriety, their lives will be full and rich. For those who
have the demons of racial dysfunction and cannot allow our message, we
must accept the fact that their ?stinking thinking? is their demon
possession for now. As Jesus instructed his disciples, we are to shake
the dust off our feet and move on. What a lesson that we have from the
savior himself about the limits that God has when it comes to demons
that possess the human family.
