When Jesus sent out his twelve disciples to minister the gospel he told them how they should conduct themselves as Kingdom servants. (Matt 10:5-15) But He also spoke of the responsibility of the people to receive these ministers as his official representatives. Jesus insists that the way people receive his ministers reflects their relationship with God (Matt 10:40) He invites God's people to welcome "a prophet in the name of a prophet" and "receive a righteous man's reward" (vrs. 41)
