Get Moving

 

Now after this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come.

And He was saying to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. Go, behold I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. Carry no money belt, no bag, no shoes, and greet no one on the way.”

Luke 10:2-3

When Jesus appointed the seventy, He chose ordinary people.

It was not about their education or the clothes they wore or the money they had, it was about the people believing He was the Son of God and the Savior of the World.  He even warned them they might encounter trouble, and still they went out from city to city, preparing the way for Jesus.  

The message for us today is that we may not be the best educated or wealthy or clever, but we too have a mission and that is the carry the message to people that God loves them and sent His Son, Jesus, to redeem them and forgive their sins, and that, with God's help, they can turn their lives around. 

The harvest is plentiful, get moving.
