Luke alone in the gospels tells the story of the sending of this large group of 72 disciples. This is part of a larger strategic missionary movement that disciples of Jesus will follow after his death, resurrection, and ascension as they go further and further away from Israel into Gentile territory. Like Jesus, do you have an urgency for sharing his message? Do you have a heart of flesh full of the Spirit in tune with the needs of the world? Jesus was always aware of the needs of the world and wanted his disciple to be as well.
