"God's Blessings"

God’s Blessings

“When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’”

Luke 10:5

This verse is part of a passage in the Bible where Jesus sends out his followers to be laborers for the harvest and gives them instructions on how to behave when they enter new towns.

Part of being a witness to Jesus is to bring his blessing of God’s peace, His love and The Good News of the Gospels, of Christ wherever we go. This is our mission.

We see this clearly in Luke 10. Jesus sent 72 of his followers to bring the good news of God’s kingdom to the people in nearby towns and villages. And when they entered people’s homes and communities, they were to declare peace on them.

These blessings are still what God offers us and the world today. And like those 72 followers, we are called to bring peace and to announce the good news wherever we go. May Jesus equip us with his Spirit to be his faithful witnesses, sharing his blessings with the people we meet today.

Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon, because He has anointed us to proclaim the “Good News” to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set the oppressed free.

To share the good news means bearing witness that Jesus came to bring peace and to right the wrongs of this hurting world.
Jesus, you care for the poor and oppressed; and he can help us to do that as we witness for Him and share His blessings with others wherever we go each day.
