Today's podcast for 'Reading Luke in Lent' looks at Luke, Chapter 10: 1-42.
The formation of the disciples by Jesus continues. First three potential followers learn the cost of discipleship. Then Jesus sends out 72 disciples to prepare the way for him. Their task is to announce the kingdom in word and deed. Their greeting of ‘Peace be to this house!’ echoes the angels who announce the Messiah’s birth, it will also be on the lips of those who welcome Jesus into Jerusalem and Jesus, himself, will speak peace when he greets his disciples after the resurrection.
'Reading Luke in Lent' is a series of simple podcasts for the Lenten season offering a daily reading from St Luke - covering the Gospel from start to finish - from Ash Wednesday to the first week of Easter.
