Evening: Psalms 36, 39; Luke 10:1-16
When Jesus sends out 70 disciples on a mission, the situation is urgent … Some want full-scale war against Rome, but Jesus seeks ‘children of peace’. The mission of the 70 has the urgent agenda of turning the people of Israel away from a potentially disastrous, violent conflict. Our modern-day situation is no less urgent, if for very different reasons. Disciples of Jesus are sent out now to engage with the world … to humanize our life; to be instruments of love, peace and justice; to resist the degradation and pollution of the earth; to be ‘children of peace.’
