Luke 10:1-2

Each of us who believe in Jesus Christ and His message of salvation are to be laborers in the field of humanity.  We are called to spread the message of God’s love for His creation to all who we come into contact with. We may be the arms and voice that God uses to touch their life.

The account of Jesus calling seventy disciples is unique to the Gospel of Luke. The instructions that Jesus gave to these disciples are similar to the instructions He gave to the Twelve.

The picture of a plentiful harvest suggests that a positive response awaited the laborers, even in the face of much rejection.

Luke 10:1-2

After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go. 2 Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.
