The Sending and Suffering of God’s Servants (Part 1)-Mark 6:7-13

Perhaps you’ve seen the 90’s movie Multiplicity, starring Michael Keaton. In said film, you have a busy man who never seems to have enough time for all his responsibilities; therefore, he creates clones of himself. One clone manages his work life, another his at-home responsibilities, and yet another for miscellaneous deeds. His rationale is that he can’t be in his human form; he can’t be in multiple places at one time; however, his tasks of life, or his mission, would require just that! And, of course, because no movie is enjoyable without a proper amount of conflict, this plan fails miserably due to the deficiencies of the clones sent out to accomplish his mission.
