Matthew 10:40-42

Thoughts:         
(The newly commissioned disciples are starting on their first missionary journey.)
Thaddeus:          That was a lot of stuff to remember.
Judas:                 I didn’t like the part about being dragged into court.
James the Less: But Jesus said we would know what to say.
Thomas:             If we’re not too loud, I doubt if we’ll be arrested.
Peter:                  But we have to get people’s attention.  Now I’ve got a voice that carries.
Andrew:             Yes, we know, Peter.
Simon the Zealot: Maybe some of the people we meet will invite us to supper.
James;                Hope they’re good cooks.
Philip:                  Or at least have pretty daughters!
Matthew:           You guys remember to start with the outside fork and work your way toward the plate.
Thaddeus:          Say what?
Nathaniel:          Jesus said if people invite us, they’re really inviting him.
John:                   I wish he had come with us.
 
Discussion:        Why do people invite other people to come to their home?
 
Activity:              Watch for someone who needs a symbolic cup of cold water.
