 The sinful men do not go out to represent themselves, but Jesus. Jesus says, Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me. Again, Jesus says to his disciples, The one who hears you hears me, and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects him who sent me. Jesus' ministers are not sent out to represent themselves.
