When Jesus sends out the disciples to tell others about him they become apostles: those who are sent. They are to be both witnesses to the truth and shepherds to the people, guiding those who have gone astray back to the Kingdom of Heaven. There are still so many who need to hear the Good News about Jesus Christ; will we tell them?
