Topic:
Two By Two Evangelism
Text:
Luke 10:1
As Jesus was concluding His earthly
ministry, He had the burden to reach more places. As He couldn’t reach all the
places He wanted to visit within the stipulated time, He opted to send some of
His disciples on mission to places He intended to visit. Perhaps that will help to get the gospel to
so many places. Of all the synoptic gospels only Luke recorded the fact that
Jesus sent seventy disciples on this mission in addition to the one he sent
twelve apostles. Their mission was evidently temporary in nature, unlike that
of the Twelve.
These disciples sent on this mission
were not unique in their qualifications. They were not better educated; not
more capable, or of higher status than other followers of Jesus. The only thing
that qualified them for this mission was that they had been equipped with
Jesus’ power and their vision to reach all the people. Having followed Jesus
for over a year, there had been tremendous influence on their lives by the
ministry of Jesus. Thus they were easily chosen.
Many of us have been with Jesus for
over 3 years which was the lifespan of His earthly ministry. We have received
calls so many times to go on evangelism. How many of us have yielded to those
calls. Jesus had set an example for us. Churches should emulate two by two
evangelism. Having been with Jesus for some time now, you should be winning souls
by now. It is important to dedicate our
skills to God’s Kingdom, but we must also be equipped with His power and have a
clear vision of what He wants us to do.
Action: As you go
out today, ensure you share the gospel with someone.
