Go Where I Send Thee (Luke 10)

Go Where I Send TheeAnybody else remember the old Sunday School song that goes like this: “Children, go where I send thee! How…shall I send thee? Well… I’m gonna send thee Eight by eight:·        Eight for the eight that stood at the gate·        Seven for the seven that never got to heaven·        Six for the six that never got fixed·        Five for the gospel preachers·        Four for the four that stood at the door·        Three for the Hebrew children·        Two for Paul and Silas·        One for the little bitty baby [that] was BORN, born, born in Bethlehem…”Please open your Bible to Luke 10:1-12. Today’s podcast is for the third Sunday in Lent, March 20th, 2022. The title of this podcast is “Go Where I Send Thee.”Luke 10:1-12After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. 2 He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. 3 Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. 4 Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.5 “When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ 6 If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you. 7 Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move around from house to house.8 “When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you. 9 Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’[10 But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, 11 ‘Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.’ 12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.]Support the show
