Luke 10

In the 1st verses Jesus sends out workers ahead of Him to plant the seeds of Gods word in the towns . Then He warns of towns not accepting Gods word, and the judgment they will face .

Then in verse 17, The seventy two returned with joy, saying " Lord even the demons submit to us in your name ."  Where as Jesus replies that even better yet is that your names are written in Heaven.  To us that should be the greatest goal, that our names  and our families names be written in Heaven .

In verse 25, an expert of the law asked Jesus," what must I do to inherit eternal life ?" Verse 26 What is written in the law? Jesus asked. The man answered," love the Lord God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself . By which Jesus replied," do this and you will live ."

Then Jesus told the parable of the Good Samaritan . Which we all know, but do we truly live it? How many times have we been too busy or preoccupied to reach out, or help, or to encourage the lost and the needy?

The chapter ends at the house of Martha and Mary, with Martha being so busy, that she didn't realize what she was missing.  Not stopping at Jesus feet, just to soak up the word of God. Another way for God to say Wait on the Lord. Don't get so busy that you completely miss Gods blessings.
