The Potential in the Not-Yet (Luke 10:1-12)
Description
In this episode we continue to walk with Jesus on His journey to Jerusalem through Samaria and watch as He sends out 72 on mission in Luke 10:1-12. Together, we reflect on how this passage echoes the sending of the Twelve, following the mission blueprint Jesus established in Luke 9:1–9. Yet, this passage also invites a shift in perspective as the disciples enter the mission field. Rather than focusing on the hopelessness that opposition can bring, Jesus draws attention to the potential within it. In the same way, as Jesus sends us out to participate in and proclaim the Kingdom of God, we are called to move with urgency, humility, and dependence—while also embracing the invitation to see potential in every encounter, even when the situation appears hopeless.
