What Happened Here:
- Jesus sends out the 72 to go harvest souls in different towns.
- Jesus wards unbelievers about how terrible it will be
- The 72 can command Satan
- Jesus prays
- the good Samaritan
- Mary and Martha
Reflection:
Jesus commands us to share the word of God. All the lost people of the world are our responsibility to reach. Jesus doesn't mince words about what will become of those who don't believe. He says that those who even reject us are also rejecting him.
Jesus explains what he means by "love your neighbor as yourself" with the parable of the good Samaritan. It doesn't matter what or how a person is different from you, we are still called to love them. That includes peoples you hate or consider to be inferior. All people should be loved as you love yourself. this is half of how Jesus says to achieve eternal life.
Highlight:
Don't become busy with work like Martha did if it gets between you and God. Of course it is important to get things done. But don't let it take priority in your life.
