Previous Episode: Why Does Jesus Matter?
Next Episode: This Is Hope

We are dropping into the narrative of Jesus’ earthly ministry on the way to Jerusalem. He had appointed 72 other disciples in addition to the twelve to travel ahead of him two-by-two into towns that he would be visiting.  They were to carry out the mission of proclaiming the kingdom of God, not just in their words but in their actions. This was a life or death mission and it needed to be done quickly. They were going to face hostility like lambs among wolves Jesus said. They were to travel light and avoid distractions. They were granted authority to perform miracles as a way to authenticate their message of the coming Messiah. They were focused on their calling. We pick up in today’s verses when the 72 return. Full of joy about what they have accomplished, and the authority and power they had in Jesus’ name.
