*Gleanings from the Master*
*Luke 10:1-24*
v This is the second time recorded in Luke that Jesus sends disciples out
Ø First time was back in *Luke 9:1-11*
§ Sending of the 12
· In that sending the central message was about Jesus…
¨ Sender
¨ Source of Power & Authority
¨ Subject of Message
v But in this sending we learn more about the actual mission
v *Illustration: Dirty Dozen*
Ø Lee Marvin as Major John Reisman ordered to infiltrate deep behind Nazi lines using only 12 war prisoners
§ In other words…
· He was given and impossible mission using difficult people
¨ Very much like Jesus with us!
Ø The bulk of the movie is Lee Marvin preparing this “Dirty Dozen” for this mission
§ Major Reisman wants them to remember their mission
· So…
¨ Puts into a nursery rhyme format
Ø If you recall, they say it over and over again so that they will remember it
Ø In this passage, Jesus is sending 72 disciples into enemy territory
§ A second sending with instructions once again
· And he wants them, and us, to remember certain things about their mission
*READ 10:1-24*
v In this section
Ø Jesus wants us to Remember…
*The Gospel is for the whole world** (10:1)*
v Centers around the number 70
Ø (KJV, NAS, RSV, Young’s, American Standard, Message)
Ø *RQ: Why 70?*
§ A) Some believe it parallels the # of members of the Sanhedrin
· Illustrates Jesus’ religious power
§ B) Some believe it parallels the # of elders appointed by Moses
· *Num 11:16*
¨ Jesus being the second Moses
Ø However, I think there is a more intriguing answer…
§ C) It represents the Gospel going out to the whole world
· *Genesis 10* ~~ Table of nations
¨ Account of how the world was repopulated after the flood by the descendants of Shem, Ham and Japheth
Ø *RQ: Guess how many nations are described in Gen 10?*
§ 70!
· What Jesus is doing is sending 70 disciples out to proclaim the kingdom of God…
¨ One for each nation
Ø This then is the symbolic spreading the Gospel to the whole world
v What Jesus wants us to remember is that our mission is to the whole world
Ø He shows us implicitly here
§ But explicitly in every one of the Gospels as well as in Acts before he ascends
§ *Matt 28:18-20*
· /“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”/
Ø We talked last week about Christianity being exclusive or inclusive
§ You can’t get more all-inclusive than the whole world!
· *1 Tim 2:4* states that
¨ /Jesus desires all men to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth /
Ø In God’s heart of hearts, he wants all people to be with him in paradise
Ø And that should be our heart of hearts as well!
§ Our first reaction should be…
· That person needs the love and salvation of Jesus
§ Our first reaction should be…
· To see each person as Jesus does…
¨ As a lost soul, a dead man walking, a person without hope
§ Our first words should be…
· Do you know Jesus?
v Remember …
*Our mission is to Proclaim the kingdom of God** (10:8-9)*
v In the history of redemption…
Ø This was a very exciting time
§ The kingdom of God has finally returned to earth
· Not since the Garden of Eden was this the case!
¨ Physically left after the fall
Ø Spiritually returning here
§ Eventually will return physically with the return of Christ
v And we are to proclaim that kingdom
Ø That kingdom we pray about in “The Lord’s Prayer”
§ “Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”
· That is our mission…
¨ To proclaim that kingdom
v However, notice what is said in verse 9
Ø “Tell them…”
§ Not persuade them, convince them or prove to them
· But simply /‘tell’/ them
¨ That is our mission
Ø *Tell* them about the Kingdom
Ø *Tell* them the good news
Ø *Tell* them about Jesus
Ø *Tell* them the Gospel
§ That is what we are responsible for before God
· Just to tell the old, old story, as the hymn states
v *Rom 14:12 *tells us that everyone will stand before God to give an account of our life
v *Matt 12:46* ~~ Account of every word we say
Ø The question put to you, put to me, will be…
§ /Did you tell people about me/
· Not how many people did you lead to Christ
Ø But simply…
§ Did you tell people about me
· Because that is our mission
v There is another very important part of our mission Jesus wants us to remember as we go about telling people…
*We are lambs not wolves** (10:3)*
v This simile gives us information that Jesus wants us to be aware of…
Ø The mission he is sending us on is *DANGEROUS!*
