Luke #26: The Harvest and Us (10:1-42)

Again, welcome to Family Worship with the church body of Eastern Hills this morning! I’m Bill Connors, senior pastor of the church family here, and I’m so blessed to get to serve such a wonderful congregation of people helping people live out the unexpected love of Jesus every day.

It’s been a great morning of praise and worship, and it’s a joy to be able to share in this experience together. We’re looking forward to taking the Lord’s Supper later in the service this morning, which we do about once a quarter. If you’re visiting with us this morning, we appreciate your being here today. We’d really like to be able to connect with you to thank you for joining us for worship. If you could take a second during my message and fill out a communication card, which you’ll find in the back of the pew in front of you, we would really appreciate it. You can return that to us one of two ways: First, you can bring it down to me at the end of the service, because I’d like to meet you and give you a small gift as a token of our gratitude for your visit today. If you don’t have time for that this morning, you can drop the Welcome card in the boxes by the doors as you leave after the service ends. If you’d rather fill out something online, you can head to ehbc.org or download our church app (EHBC Albuquerque) and fill out the contact form at the bottom of the “I’m New” link.

I’d like to thank our Audio-Visual Ministry team this morning? The funny thing about AV is that you hardly notice they exist when things go well, but if something goes wrong, all of those faces turning around to look at you is super stressful. So let’s give them an opportunity to see all of our faces when it’s not stressful. Can we all just turn toward the booth and say, “thanks?” On 3.

Sometimes it’s in looking through a big chunk of Scripture that you see threads: lines that hold the whole narrative together through passages that we might otherwise read and consider individually. Today is going to be one of those days. If you’re doing the church Bible reading plan, two Sundays ago the passage from Luke was 9:51 through 11:13 (we finished Luke on Thursday). And as we come to chapter 10, we’ve just stepped into Luke’s “travel narrative” section of his Gospel, where he tells the story of Jesus’s focus on Jerusalem as His ultimate destination and what would happen when He got there. This morning, we are going to take chapter 10 as a whole, and see the thread of the work of the harvest that is woven through it, and consider what that means for us.

So as you are able, please stand in honor of the reading of the Word of God, and turn in your Bibles or Bible apps to Luke 10, and I will begin reading in verse 1. Be warned: this reading will take probably about eight minutes, so we will be standing for a bit. If you would rather not stand for that long, feel free to remain seated.

Luke 10:1–42 CSB

1 After this, the Lord appointed seventy-two others, and he sent them ahead of him in pairs to every town and place where he himself was about to go. 2 He told them, “The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest. 3 Now go; I’m sending you out like lambs among wolves. 4 Don’t carry a money-bag, traveling bag, or sandals; don’t greet anyone along the road. 5 Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this household.’ 6 If a person of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. 7 Remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they offer, for the worker is worthy of his wages. Don’t move from house to house. 8 When you enter any town, and they welcome you, eat the things set before you. 9 Heal the sick who are there, and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near you.’ 10 When you enter any town, and they don’t welcome you, go out into its streets and say, 11 ‘We are wiping off even the dust of your town that clings to our feet as a witness against you. Know this for certain: The kingdom of God has come near.’ 12 I tell you, on that day it will be more tolerable for Sodom than for that town. 13 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. 15 And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? No, you will go down to Hades. 16 Whoever listens to you listens to me. Whoever rejects you rejects me. And whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me.” 17 The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.” 18 He said to them, “I watched Satan fall from heaven like lightning. 19 Look, I have given you the authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy; nothing at all will harm you. 20 However, don’t rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” 21 At that time he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure. 22 All things have been entrusted to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son desires to reveal him.” 23 Then turning to his disciples he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see the things you see! 24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see the things you see but didn’t see them; to hear the things you hear but didn’t hear them.” 25 Then an expert in the law stood up to test him, saying, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 “What is written in the law?” he asked him. “How do you read it?” 27 He answered, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,” and “your neighbor as yourself.” 28 “You’ve answered correctly,” he told him. “Do this and you will live.” 29 But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 Jesus took up the question and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him, beat him up, and fled, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down that road. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 In the same way, a Levite, when he arrived at the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan on his journey came up to him, and when he saw the man, he had compassion. 34 He went over to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on olive oil and wine. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said, ‘Take care of him. When I come back I’ll reimburse you for whatever extra you spend.’ 36 “Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?” 37 “The one who showed mercy to him,” he said. Then Jesus told him, “Go and do the same.” 38 While they were traveling, he entered a village, and a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. 39 She had a sister named Mary, who also sat at the Lord’s feet and was listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by her many tasks, and she came up and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to serve alone? So tell her to give me a hand.” 41 The Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but one thing is necessary. Mary has made the right choice, and it will not be taken away from her.”

Have any of you ever seen a performance of the musical, “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown?” It’s based upon the gang of Peanuts characters created by Charles Schulz. My favorite song in the musical is “The Book Report.” I find it to be terribly creative, and hilarious. Four of the characters—Lucy, Linus, Schroder, and of course, Charlie Brown—are bemoaning the fact that they have homework: A book report on The Tale of Peter Rabbit. The song literally begins: “Homework. Homework. Homework. Homework. Yuck.” I’m sure students and children in the room, and even college-goers all can identify with this sentiment.

Sometimes, we just hate doing work, even if it’s just a 100-word book report. And some of us might think that we have the Fall to blame for work—that if Adam and Eve had just exercised a little self-control about that Edenic fruit, we would all be floating around on clouds kicking back while angels take care of our needs. Some people imagine heaven this way. But this isn’t biblical thinking. Work was given to Adam before the Fall. He was called to “work [the garden] and watch over it,” according to Genesis 2:15, before Eve was even created. Work is thus what is called a creation ordinance.

It’s because of the Fall that work became “painful” as God put it in Genesis 3:17. So work is good, though made difficult because of sin, and in heaven we will have some form of work to do. We won’t be angels floating around on clouds and strumming harps (unless for some reason that I couldn’t even imagine now that is somehow a task that God wants us to perform for His purposes and glory).

In his article in the EHBC Life this morning, Trevor talks about the two sides of this coin: work and rest, and how the two things go together, as both are blessings that God has given to us.

So biblically, we can say this: generally speaking, work is God’s idea, and work is a good. And taking it even a little bit deeper, we can also say that Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection accomplishes redemption in the lives of those who have surrendered to Him by faith—it restores our relationship with God. And in so doing, it also calls us and empowers us to a new kind of work: His work, harvest work, Kingdom work.

That is what this whole chapter is about: The fact that Jesus sends us out as ambassadors of His Kingdom, that humanity is called to recognize and respond to that Kingdom message, that as we go we are to display His compassion, and that we can rest in His presence even as we work because it’s our relationship with Him that empowers our work.

Let’s dive in with our first point:

1: Sent with a purpose (v 1-12)

Like we saw back at the beginning of chapter 9, Jesus chooses a group of His followers and sends them out in pairs to proclaim the message of the Kingdom of God to the cities that He plans on visiting. This time, Luke reports Jesus’s appointment of 72 disciples sent in pairs to the cities He would soon be visiting, which possibly included Galilean, Samarian, and Judean towns:

Luke 10:1–3 CSB

Like Jesus’s sending out of the 12, His sending of the 72 involved instructions regarding what not to take with them (such as a money-bag), because they were to be supported by the towns they visited, and about the urgency that their mission demanded. If they went to a town that received them well, then they were to minister there in Christ’s name and power, and to declare that the Kingdom of God had come near in a positive sense: that town was witnessing the Kingdom advance through the work of the 72. If a town did not receive them, they were to publicly wipe the dust from their feet and give the same declaration in a negative sense as a warning: The Kingdom of God was near, meaning that that town was under the wrath of God, and would be judged by the coming King.

They were being sent into an environment that was not neutral, but was filled with danger and opponents who would stand against them (lambs among wolves).

However, the harvest was ready. There just needed to be more workers to bring it in. Jesus’s admonition here is still true today. There is still a harvest out there of people who have never believed the Gospel message, some because they’ve never heard the Gospel message. And there are people who have a particular calling on their lives to declare the hope of Christ, perhaps as pastors, perhaps as missionaries.

And that might be you! You might have been experiencing a move of God in your life, challenging you to making your life about declaring the truth of the Gospel in ministry, or through missions.

But this doesn’t mean that every other follower of Jesus is somehow “off the hook,” as if we should just leave the declaration of the Gospel up to the “professionals,” so to speak. No—each of us, as believers, are called to this work.

We see this in Matthew 28:19-20, known as the Great Commission, a directive and a promise that were given to all disciples, not just a select few:

Matthew 28:19–20 CSB

19 Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

We see this in Acts 1:8, and in 2 Corinthians 5:18-20:

Acts 1:8 CSB

8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

2 Corinthians 5:18–20 CSB

18 Everything is from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation. 19 That is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and he has committed the message of reconciliation to us. 20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us. We plead on Christ’s behalf, “Be reconciled to God.”

The harvest is abundant. Are we willing to all be workers, trusting in the work of God through His Holy Spirit to use us as we obey Him, sowing and reaping the seeds of the Gospel—That God created them to be in a loving relationship with Him, but that our sins have broken that relationship, and there’s no way to fix it on our own, so God sent His perfect Son, Jesus Christ, to pay the price for our sins by dying on cross, but He overcame death by rising again? And that everyone who believes in Jesus for salvation has eternal life—the presence of God in our lives now by His Holy Spirit living within us, and in the presence of God forever when our lives are done or when Jesus returns?

We are each sent with this message, this purpose—to take every opportunity God is giving us to proactively share the Gospel in a clear and compelling way, because the harvest is plentiful. Let’s make the workers a little fewer by sharing the Gospel in the circles of our lives.

Now, this message about the harvest doesn’t mean that everyone we tell will believe. This brings us to our second point:

2: Recognize and respond (v 13-24)

In the next part of the chapter, Jesus picks up the theme of the towns that would reject the message of the Kingdom from the 72, and begins to apply it to towns that He has already visited in Galilee who had not welcomed the Messiah and the Gospel. They neither recognized the Savior, nor responded to His call, though He had done the miraculous within them. They would be judged as harshly as the pagan towns of Tyre and Sidon. Capernaum, which Jesus had used as His “home base” would not be exalted simply because of that fact. They still needed to recognize and respond to the Gospel.

Judgment is the other side of the Gospel coin. Without the reality of God’s judgment against sin, there is no good news to share, because there is no bad news. But Paul tells us in Romans 14 that “we will all stand before the judgment seat of God,” and, “each of us will give an account of himself to God.” (10, 12) The Gospel is good news because Jesus came to rescue us from the bad news that we deserve God’s wrath because of our sin. We must recognize this fact and respond to the hope offering through Jesus.

The 72 were sent out with the message of the story of the King, calling the people in the towns they visited to believe in King Jesus and submit to His righteous rule and reign: the Kingdom of God. Towns could listen, thus recognizing the truth and responding, or reject the message. Jesus summarized this in verse 16:

Luke 10:16 CSB

16 Whoever listens to you listens to me. Whoever rejects you rejects me. And whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me.”

Not only did they have that message, but the went in the power that He gave them, so that even the demons submitted to their commands. Not surprisingly, the disciples were pretty thrilled about how things went on their journeys, returning with joy at how God had worked through them and the miraculous things He had done—how the kingdom of the “ruler of the power of the air” (Eph 2:2) could not stand against the arrival of the Kingdom of God through Christ.

Jesus paints a great picture of how the devil’s kingdom was powerless against Jesus, saying that He “watched Satan fall from heaven like lightning,” but warning His disciples to recognize that while having authority over demons was exciting, they should take the most joy from the fact that their names are written in the Lamb’s book of life:

Luke 10:20 CSB

20 However, don’t rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

It’s only through faith in Jesus that we have access to eternity with God, because only Jesus made the way possible. Jesus is God the Son, fully man and fully God at the same time, and so He had the power to live the perfect life we cannot live, and still be able to stand in our place as a man to take our sin, our shame, and our punishment on Himself.

It’s only through Jesus that we can know the Father, as Jesus said in verse 22 of our focal passage:

Luke 10:22 CSB

22 All things have been entrusted to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son desires to reveal him.”

Church, we have been given the message of reconciliation as we saw in 2 Corinthians 5. We must recognize that if we know Jesus, we know the Father (John 14:7), and as we respond to God’s grace in our lives by telling others about Him, in a way we’re “making introductions.” We’re telling people about the One that we know, hoping that they will come to know Him as well, so that they can have the eternal life that we have through faith in Jesus, as John wrote:

John 1:12–13 CSB

12 But to all who did receive him, he gave them the right to be children of God, to those who believe in his name, 13 who were born, not of natural descent, or of the will of the flesh, or of the will of man, but of God.

So we can see who is sent (us), and what we are sent to proclaim (the Gospel). But HOW are we to proclaim the Gospel? The next section of the chapter addresses this question:

3: Display compassion (v 25-37)

I really like how Trevor in his article this morning put what happened to the law of Moses through the sacrifice of Jesus: He wrote, “Crucified with Him, the law of Moses was buried and raised the law of Christ—totally transformed, the same yet not the same as it was before.” Even in the time of Moses, the law was given not to save, but to point us to our need for a Savior because of our inability to keep the law. In the next section of chapter 10, Jesus faced an expert in that law who asked Him a question about how one could inherit eternal life:

Luke 10:25–29 CSB

25 Then an expert in the law stood up to test him, saying, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 “What is written in the law?” he asked him. “How do you read it?” 27 He answered, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,” and “your neighbor as yourself.” 28 “You’ve answered correctly,” he told him. “Do this and you will live.” 29 But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

Jesus turned the tables on him and asked him what he thought the answer was. His response was what we call the Great Commandment: Love the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind, strength, and mind, and love our neighbor as ourselves. Jesus said that he got it right. And the two go together, because loving God by faith should manifest itself in loving others, and loving others as God would have us do reflects His love, and shows that we love God.

Paul said in Galatians 5:

Galatians 5:6 CSB

6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision accomplishes anything; what matters is faith working through love.

The point of the heart/soul/strength/mind in verse 27 is not to split us into four pieces and then say each of the pieces has to love God. Instead, it’s to say that we are to love the Lord with every ounce, every fiber, every part of our being. Jesus is to be our all in all, our everything, the One to whom literally everything else comes in a distant second.

But the expert in the law wanted to figure out a way around his “right” answer, so he asked Jesus to define who is “neighbor” is. Maybe there’s someone he doesn’t have to show love and compassion to?

Jesus responds by sharing the parable of the Good Samaritan: That a Hebrew man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho was attacked and robbed, and a religious priest and a religious Levite both refused to stop and help him as he lay bleeding on the side of the road. But a Samaritan, someone who hated the Samaritans and whom the Samaritans hated, came along, patched him up, took him to an inn, and paid for his care.

Jesus was giving an example showing that the legal expert had asked the wrong question: The issue at stake isn’t “who is my neighbor?” The issue at stake is, “how can I BE a good neighbor to others?” The Samaritan embodied compassion and selflessness, willing to use his time, his resources, and his energy to help this man in need.

We are called, as God’s people, to have compassion be a part of the “uniform” of our faith—it should be a part of what identifies us as Christians. Paul tells us to “put on” compassion in Colossians 3:

Colossians 3:12–13 CSB

12 Therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and dearly loved, put on compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you are also to forgive.

These things should be hallmarks of our faith—things that showcase not just who WE are, but who JESUS is to the world who is watching. Who in your path needs your compassion this week?

But finally, this compassion isn’t something that we can just “manufacture.” It comes from our relationship with Jesus.

4: Rest in Christ’s presence (v 38-42)

The final part of Luke chapter 10 almost feels disconnected from what came immediately before it—as if it doesn’t go with what we just read. But Luke chose to put this passage exactly where he did because it shows us where our focus should be if we are going to be effective workers in God’s harvest. We can work and work at Kingdom things, but if we don’t actually spend any time with Jesus, we’re missing the point.

Luke 10:38–42 CSB

38 While they were traveling, he entered a village, and a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. 39 She had a sister named Mary, who also sat at the Lord’s feet and was listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by her many tasks, and she came up and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to serve alone? So tell her to give me a hand.” 41 The Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but one thing is necessary. Mary has made the right choice, and it will not be taken away from her.”

I’m not going to sugar-coat this: it’s REALLY easy to be distracted by doing things “for God.” This is what Martha was doing. Literally. She was doing housework (probably cooking, primarily) for Jesus.

And Mary was just sitting at Jesus’s feet—exactly the place for a disciple to sit—just soaking in His words and learning from Him… she was making the “right choice” in that moment, and Jesus wasn’t going to ask her to stop, despite Martha’s protests.

If we don’t prioritize our relationship with Jesus over our service for Him, we will do harm to BOTH. However, if we make sure that our relationship with Jesus is right, then we will know when, how, and whom to serve. We’ll come to know His Word and character well enough to be able to distinguish between His voice and other things that we might hear or think. We’ll have the strength and health we need when He calls.

This isn’t to say that we should use this as an argument for a life of contemplation over a life of service, or as a contradiction to the earlier points. We serve our neighbors best when we love God, and we love God in part by serving others. If we aren’t spending any time WITH Jesus, we won’t be effective FOR Him.

Closing

I know that this was a lot to take in: like drinking from a fire hose. But to bring it back full-circle. There’s work—godly work—to be done. Church family, the harvest waits: Are we ready to get to work, and do what Jesus calls us to, going where He sends us? Have we recognized His sovereignty over our lives, and are we willing to respond to His call? Is compassion a part of how we respond to the needs of people around us? Do we spend enough time with Jesus so that we are prepared to serve when He gives us the opportunity to do so?

These are all questions we need address. But the first, and most important one, is this: Have you surrendered in faith to Jesus as Savior and Lord? If not, do you today recognize His Lordship and respond to Him in belief and trust? This is where it all starts. Trusting Jesus happens right inside your heart and mind, wherever you are, and you can come and share with this church family that you believe the Gospel today. We want to rejoice with you in that. So come and share that with one of us while the band is playing in just a bit. If you’re online and believing in Jesus today, send me an email.

Lord’s Supper

I’d like to invite our deacons to come down and prepare to serve the Lord’s Supper to our church family.

As they come, I’d like to give both a warning and a welcome.

The warning is that if you do not belong to God through believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, please do not take the Supper. Since this is a time of memorial of and identification with the Gospel, if you do not believe, you should not participate. This is to safeguard the sanctity of the ordinance and for your protection as well, according to Scripture. We love you, and we’re glad that you’re here. We pray that witnessing this ordinance will be a blessing to you and open your heart to ask questions or to want to find out more about following Christ.

However, the Scripture is clear that the Supper is to be taken in a “worthy manner… recognizing the body.” To take it as an unbeliever is to do so in an “unworthy” manner, because the unbeliever doesn’t recognize the fact that the body of Jesus was broken for our sins, His blood shed for our forgiveness. Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians:

1 Corinthians 11:27–32 CSB

27 So, then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sin against the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Let a person examine himself; in this way let him eat the bread and drink from the cup. 29 For whoever eats and drinks without recognizing the body, eats and drinks judgment on himself. 30 This is why many are sick and ill among you, and many have fallen asleep. 31 If we were properly judging ourselves, we would not be judged, 32 but when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined, so that we may not be condemned with the world.

As I said in our message, just as we need to recognize and respond to the message of the Gospel and the call of God to share it, as we take the Supper, we should also recognize what Christ has done for us through His death, and respond in confession of our need for Him and in repentance of our sins. In accordance with this passage, take just a moment to examine your own heart, confess any sin, and ask the Lord to reveal any sin that needs repentance and confession this morning.

The welcome is that we’re here together in this room (and online if you are participating at home today), and it’s a joy to be able to take the Supper together as a church family. We’re told to welcome one another as we come together for the Supper:

1 Corinthians 11:33 CSB

33 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, when you come together to eat, welcome one another.

Look around you for just a moment and welcome each other to the family table.

Ask Bryan and Jeff to come and distribute the bread to the deacons. Have one of the deacons ask the Lord to bless the bread.

1 Corinthians 11:23–24 CSB

23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”

After the cup is distributed to the deacons, have another deacon ask the Lord to bless the cup.

1 Corinthians 11:25–26 CSB

25 In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, and said, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

Thank the deacons for their service to the church family this morning.
