Contents: Matthew 10 — Mission, Conscience, and the Choice of Humanity

Introduction

Matthew 10 brings the message of Jesus into the real world of choice, risk, and responsibility.

Here, spiritual teaching is no longer abstract. It becomes a mission that must be lived, defended, and carried forward despite resistance, fear, and distortion.

These words speak about the responsibility of those who receive truth first, about the danger of false interpretations, and about the role of conscience in distinguishing light from deception.

This chapter shows that faith is not passive belief. It is a conscious path that requires courage, inner maturity, and loyalty to truth.

Every person who encounters this message faces the same question: Will I become a bearer of light — or remain silent?

Jesus speaking to his disciples in Matthew 10 about spiritual mission, responsibility, and living by conscience

The Mission to the Lost Sheep and the Nearness of the Kingdom

5 These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, “Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of the Samaritans,

6 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

7 And proclaim as you go, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

16 “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. (Mathew, 10:5-7, 16) *

When Jesus said that one should not go to other nations but to the lost sheep of Israel, he did not mean that other nations were inferior to the Jewish people.

He meant that every people to whom a messenger appears is given a choice by God: either to become the first to proclaim the teaching from above to other nations, or to remain on the wrong path.

Those who receive the message first bear a special responsibility. They are called not only to accept the truth, but to live it and transmit it further.

When Jesus spoke of the nearness of the Kingdom of Heaven, he was not speaking about earthly power or religious dominance.

He meant the nearness of the time when, after the Last Judgment, the worthy will attain a new and higher world.

This message is both a gift and a test. It offers light, but it also demands inner maturity, courage, and faithfulness to conscience.

Discerning Truth from Distortion

34 Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36 And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household.
37 Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
39 Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. (Mathew,10:34-39)

These phrases do not come from Jesus.

Jesus could not have said:“Whoever does not take his cross…”

Such words appeared much later, after the crucifixion was turned into a religious symbol and presented as a sign of supposed holiness.

This image was created not to bring people closer to God, but to distort the original teaching.

As a result, texts filled with anger, fear, and division were introduced into the scriptures.

They contradict the spirit of conscience, love, and inner freedom.

The Role of Conscience in Reading Scripture

You have already been given examples of how to distinguish truth from distortion in sacred writings.

The main tool for this discernment is conscience.

When reading any spiritual text, it is important to ask yourself:

  • Could these words come from the Almighty?
  • Could they originate from the righteous?
  • Do they lead to love, unity, and awakening — or to fear, hatred, and division?

This inner questioning gradually sharpens perception. The higher your level of conscience, the clearer your perception becomes.

And you begin to see what is true. You recognize what has been falsified. Spiritual growth is not blind acceptance. It is conscious reflection guided by inner honesty.

Without this, people continue to believe in texts that justify cruelty, injustice, and moral degradation.

When Religion Serves Darkness

Many servants of religion who do not understand this serve darkness because of their disbelief and low spiritual level.

Today they bless weapons for brutal wars.
Tomorrow they will bless the reduction of people to the status of cattle.

True priests are persecuted and deprived of the right to speak.

Support such priests.

Those servants of religion who possess intelligence and spiritual awareness will awaken and recognize the revelation of the Almighty through the manifested seven lampstands.

Questions for Conscience and Self-Reflection

Ask yourselves honestly:

  • Who divided peoples into religions and denominations to serve thieves and tyrants?
  • Who benefited from centuries of persecution?
  • Who hid behind piety while serving injustice?
  • Why are satanists able to lead the world to ruin despite millions of believers?
  • Should billions go to the abyss instead of uniting to protect their children and their souls?

These questions are not meant for accusation. They are meant for reflection. They help awaken responsibility.

Listen while asking. Listen to your conscience.

You call yourselves believers, yet allow yourselves to be turned against one another.

Your children are poisoned.
Their minds are corrupted.
They are surrounded by manipulation and danger.

And you say: “What can I do alone?”

But there are billions of you.

When you reflect on this, you will understand: The main weakness of this world is weak faith in God.

If the majority had accepted the gift of God in 2019, wars and inhumanity would already have ended. The destiny of humanity depends on the level of the majority.

Awakening and Global Responsibility

Today, many people — including religious leaders and politicians — are beginning to think independently. The number of awakened individuals is growing.

At the same time, closed power groups still influence politics, media, and conflicts.

They infiltrated religions.
They manipulate nations.
They provoke wars.
They control information.

Information manipulation remains one of the main sources of violence. The mass media bears responsibility for bloodshed.

Faith Without Action

Those who claim faith but do not awaken others deceive themselves. Faith without responsibility becomes empty. Waiting for others to act does not fulfill the will from Above.

Every person shares responsibility for the world in which he lives. Inactivity also has consequences.

The call of this teaching is simple:

Awaken.
Unite.
Act with conscience.

The will of God is awakening and unification.

A Call to Awakening of Conscience

On the Day of Judgment, many will regret missed opportunities. But it will be too late.

The righteous will rejoice.

The new world will not be built on fear and deception, but on awareness and truth.

Those who refuse to grow remain behind.

Those who awaken help preserve humanity.

It is time to awaken. It is time to choose growth.
