Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
Here we have another commission from Jesus. He sends out the seventy-two disciples to preach, to teach, to cast out demons, etc. This is not a story, though there is some narrative in it. No, this is a call for us as well. We are Christ's disciples, and not just because that is the name of our denomination. We are disciples of Christ in that we follow Christ. And anyone who follows Christ is given the commission by Christ to go out and do Christ's work. These seventy-two disciples returned to Jesus rejoicing because they had been successful at their work. We, too, should be rejoicing; for it is a blessing to serve in the name of Christ. Let us all go out and serve the Lord, and let us all rejoice and be glad for being able to serve the Lord. God bless you,
Pastor Josh
