Read Luke 10:1-3
We shift our focus this week to Jesus’ desire for his disciples to share their faith with others. In his journey from the transfiguration to Jerusalem, Jesus sent the 72 out to share the peace of Christ with others. Jesus made it clear that this would not be easy. He uses the metaphor of sending sheep out amongst the wolves. Today it feels like that at times, but the harvest field today is just as ripe as it was then.
While evangelism seems overwhelming; remember Who sends you out, remember the one who walks with you, Jesus. We all share in this calling to share Jesus’ grace and peace with others. Pray for and depend on the Holy Spirit to equip us with all we need to carry out this mission.
