This is the only gospel where we read that the Lord sent out seventy in addition to the twelve apostles. The work was great and the laborers were few. This is just as true today as it was then. To confirm their message, the Lord enabled them to perform miracles. Having completed their mission, they returned with joy but were told that they should rather rejoice because their names were written in heaven. Do you know if your name is written in heaven? Receive the Lord Jesus as Saviour and it will be!
Next, we read that the Lord rejoiced because the message was simple enough for babies to understand, but it was hidden from the wise and prudent because they didn’t want to believe God’s message. The lawyer who stood up was in this category. In answering his question, the Lord told the wonderful story of the good Samaritan. The Samaritan carried with him just what the half-dead man needed - oil, wine, transportation and money to pay for his recovery. Today, the gospel message brings with it just what sinful men need - salvation!
The Lord Jesus valued the hospitality that Martha and Mary displayed and He values anything you may do for Him. But do you know what one thing is most important? It is to pay attention to His Word and believe it.
