Messengers of Good News

In chapter 10 of Luke, Jesus sends out 72 disciples to prepare the way before him. We learn that every disciple has a mission, an exclusive message, and a high motivation. Our message is exclusive because that is what Jesus taught. He said in John 14:6, “I am the way and the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” The apostles taught, “there is no other name given under Heaven whereby we can be saved” (Acts 4:12). There is only one way to the Father. Therefore, we reject pluralism (several ways) and inclusivism (all will find their way). If you have seen Jesus clearly you should proclaim him boldly (Luke 10:23-24). We are called to share the good news victory, the life-shaping history-changing event of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:56-58).
