Jesus summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over unclean spirits.He instructed them to take nothing for the journey but a walking stick–no food, no sack, no money in their belts. They were, however, to wear sandals but not a second tunic.He said to them,“Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave from there.Whatever place does not welcome you or listen to you,leave there and shake the dust off your feet in testimony against them.” So they went off and preached repentance. The Twelve drove out many demons,and they anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them.
Isinugo ni Jesus ang Labindalawang Alagad
Marcos 6:7-13
7Tinawag niya ang labindalawang alagad. Sila ay isinugo niyang dala-dalawa at binigyan ng kapamahalaan laban sa mga karumal-dumal na espiritu.8Inutusan niya sila na huwag magdadala ng anumang bagay sa paglalakbay kundi tungkod lamang. Hindi rin sila pinagdadala ng pamigkis o tinapay o salapi sa bulsa. 9Pinagsusuot sila ng sandalyas. Gayundin hindi sila pinagsusuot ng dalawang balabal. 10Sinabi niya sa kanila: Saan mang bahay kayo pumasok, manatili kayo roon hanggang kayo ay umalis. 11Ang sinumang hindi tumanggap o makinig sa inyo, sa pag-alis ninyo roon, ipagpag ninyo ang alikabok ng inyong talampakan. Gawin ninyo ito bilang patotoo laban sa kanila. Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo: Higit na mabigat ang parusa sa lungsod na iyon kaysa sa parusa sa Sodoma at Gomora sa araw ng paghuhukom.
12Sa kanilang paghayo, ipinangaral nila sa mga tao na magsisi. 13Gayundin, maraming mga demonyo ang kanilang pinalabas, pinahiran nila ng langis ang maraming maysakit at pinagaling sila.

Jesus started his ministry by himself but later on decided to chose the Twelve Apostles to help him in his mission.
Being the Chairman and CEO, the Twelve are his managers (legwork), in charge of making sure that the organization would go on to the next level. Using the Leadership by Example, Jesus taught His disciples every step of the way on how to grow the organization(Christianity).
Just as he chose them, Jesus requires workers like us to continue spreading His mission.
Being a subordinate of Jesus is the ultimate privilege for us since He is the best CEO in the whole universe.
Lord, thank you for calling us to be your subordinate. You are a forgiving boss and no matter how many times I commit mistakes, you just warn me and sometimes I got suspended but after that you always give me lessons in order not to repeat the same mistakes again. In the end I always get back to work refreshed and renewed and ready to take in the next challenge.
I would also like to tell you that you are the best Boss I ever had, because no matter how worthless I am, as long as you see that I am willing to learn, as long as you see that I have that dedication, you still keep me in my task and never terminate me from my job.
Thank you Lord God for the opportunity to serve you.
Your obedient subordinate,
Ed
