And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.
Ephesians 4:32
When Jesus sent His twelve disciples out to minister to the needy in His Name, He gave them power to heal the sick and drive out demons—even raise the dead (Matthew 10:1-15). And He spoke a principle that infuses all the Christian life: “Freely you have received, freely give” (verse 8). In other words, the disciples had no power of their own to restore the afflicted; Jesus gave them power. Since they had freely received power and authority, they were to freely use that power to help others. They were to do what Jesus would have done if He had been there.
