Overview & Insights

"Rejoice that your names are written in heaven." (Luke 10:20)

Jesus sends seventy-two disciples ahead of him in pairs to towns he intends to visit, instructing them to travel light, heal the sick, and proclaim that the kingdom of God has come near. They return rejoicing over their authority, and Jesus redirects their joy to their names being written in heaven.
