Preached that men should repent

 by David Long

"And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits; And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse: But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats. And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. And they went out, and preached that men should repent" (Mk. 6:7-12). The twelve preached that men should repent. That was the message of John (Matt. 3:2). That was the message of Jesus (Matt. 4:17) and that is the message of today (Acts 17:30). If we don't repent we will perish (Lk. 13:3, 5). True then and true now!
