What happens if ministers are not received?

In Luke 10:10-12, Jesus instructs His ministers on how to respond to rejection. If a city does not receive them, they are to shake off the dust from their feet and move on. This illustrates that the responsibility lies with those who reject the gospel. The ministers' task is to proclaim the message — the kingdom of God has come near — and the refusal does not change the reality of its offer. Furthermore, as Jesus stated, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for such unresponsive cities, highlighting the seriousness of rejecting God's message through His appointed messengers.
