Dean Elliott explains that this part is an end of two different sections – The Sermon on the Mount, and then a field trip to see what Jesus was talking about in the sermon. In this text, Matthew 9:27-10:1, we will see the important qualifications that Jesus places on His people before He gives them power. There is one central truth, but there are three requirements that He imposes on those to whom He is going to give the power of God to build the kingdom of God.
