LOOK FOR PEACE
Jesus sent out seventy followers by pairs in ministry {note: only
two Greek manuscripts read seventy-two}. After some general
admonitions, Jesus instructed “AS SOON AS YOU ENTER A
HOME, SAY, ‘GOD BLESS THIS HOME WITH PEACE.’ IF
THE PEOPLE LIVING THERE ARE PEACE-LOVING,
YOUR PRAYER FOR PEACE WILL BLESS THEM. BUT IF
THEY ARE NOT PEACE-LOVING, YOUR PRAYER WILL
RETURN TO YOU” [Lk 10:5-6 CE]{Mt 10:13} . Apparently, this
was a way of screening as to whether a home was a suitable place
to stay while ministering. Jesus describes His peace as when we
will not “BE WORRIED OR AFRAID” [Jn 14:27 CE]. Do you
have peace?
