Our reading today follows very closely on the heels of yesterday's logically. We have seen that the Lord gives his Gospel to be received with joy and communicated with charity. Yet today we see that our Lord has provided a plan by which the Gospel is to be proclaimed, a way the word of salvation is to be spread through the world. God has given very specific instruction in His Word to reveal himself adequately to this world. And look at the power which the seventy-two experience in their obedience to the Lord. Jesus has empowered them to bring his truth to the world. And the Gospel itself is God's power.
May the Lord unleash his powerful Gospel, using us his people as faithful vessels of proclamation. May our attention be focused on the Lord of the Gospel, not on the signs which accompany this faithful ministry of proclamation. And may we have the Lord's desire for the salvation of our lost and dying world.
