Readings: Psalm 31, Proverbs 10:1-21, Luke 8-10:24
The lips of the righteous feed many, but fools die for lack of sense. — Proverbs 10:21
Then turning to the disciples he said privately, ‘Blessed are the eyes that see what you see! For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and di not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.’ — Luke 10:24
This is a particularly rich section of Luke. Jesus heals people, he feeds 5,000+ with five loaves and two fish, Peter declares him the Christ. The 12 are sent out and so are the 72. The kingdom is on the move! After 600 years of silence God is speaking, and his voice can be heard in the words of Jesus as he tells the parable of the sower, in the actions of Jesus as he calms the storm, and in the actions of the disciples as they go to town, heal the sick and proclaim, ‘The Kingdom of God has come near.”
Makes me think of this song:
Build your Kingdom HERE!!
