11/22 Luke 10:5-11
“Whenever you enter a home, give it your blessing. 6 If those who live there are worthy, the blessing will stand; if they are not, the blessing will return to you. 7 When you enter a town, don’t move around from home to home. Stay in one place, eating and drinking what they provide you. Don’t hesitate to accept hospitality, because those who work deserve their pay. 8 “If a town welcomes you, eat whatever is set before you 9 and heal the sick. As you heal them, say, ‘The Kingdom of God is near you now.’ 10 But if a town refuses to welcome you, go out into its streets and say, 11 ‘We wipe the dust of your town from our feet as a public announcement of your doom. And don’t forget the Kingdom of God is near!’
ACTION
Jesus calls His disciples to action. He had a job for us. We need to be about His work. We are moving on and if someone derides us we simply move on. Refusal is not a way to stop the spread of the Gospel it simply sends us on to the next person, the next town or the next opportunity. Jesus is Lord.
