[157.70 --> 161.38] and tell them the kingdom of God has come near to you.
[161.38 --> 163.78] But when you enter a town and are not welcome,
[163.92 --> 165.18] go into its streets and say,
[165.66 --> 167.62] even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet
[167.62 --> 168.56] as a warning to you.
[168.84 --> 169.88] Yet be sure of this,
[170.18 --> 173.04] the kingdom of God has come near.
[173.90 --> 174.72] I tell you,
[174.78 --> 176.64] it would be more bearable on that day for Sodom
[176.64 --> 177.82] than for that town.
[178.96 --> 182.52] Whoever listens to you listens to me.
[182.66 --> 184.30] Whoever rejects you rejects me.
[184.72 --> 187.96] But whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.
[188.92 --> 192.06] The 72 returned with joy and said,
[192.46 --> 195.08] Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.
[195.64 --> 196.42] And he replied,
[196.42 --> 199.80] I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
[200.44 --> 201.62] And this is part of the difficult,
[201.78 --> 202.80] the hard thing Jesus said.
[202.86 --> 203.68] We're going to talk about that.
[204.22 --> 207.00] I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions
[207.00 --> 208.68] and to overcome all the power of the enemy.
[209.08 --> 210.20] Nothing will harm you.
[210.76 --> 214.28] However, do not rejoice that the spirit submit to you,
[214.28 --> 217.24] but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.
[217.96 --> 218.72] At that time,
[218.80 --> 219.06] Jesus,
[219.36 --> 221.20] full of joy through the Holy Spirit,
[221.34 --> 221.56] said,
[221.90 --> 222.56] I praise you,
[222.66 --> 222.92] Father,
[223.28 --> 224.38] Lord of heaven and earth,
[224.50 --> 227.46] because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned
[227.46 --> 229.44] and revealed them to little children.
[230.12 --> 230.32] Yes,
[230.40 --> 230.64] Father,
[230.76 --> 233.96] for this is what you were pleased to do.
[236.02 --> 236.74] All right.
[236.74 --> 239.14] There's Jesus,
[239.72 --> 240.48] and then the 12,
[240.66 --> 241.58] and now the 72,
[242.14 --> 243.68] carrying out the mission of God,
[243.98 --> 247.44] to reclaim and renew all things in the name of the Father,
[247.80 --> 252.90] to restore God's peace and reign over all the earth,
[253.20 --> 254.98] as it is rightly his,
[255.82 --> 259.44] and to overthrow all that goes against God's kingdom.
[259.80 --> 261.68] That's kind of what's going on here in a nutshell.
[261.68 --> 262.96] And in this,
[263.18 --> 264.08] they go about,
[264.30 --> 267.48] sometimes they disturb the status quo of their culture.
[269.02 --> 269.16] You know,
[269.36 --> 271.72] the word world is often used,
[271.80 --> 273.10] and the word world is,
[274.26 --> 275.90] they're trying to say,
[276.16 --> 277.90] it's what opposes God's kingdom.
[278.22 --> 279.30] That's what the world is.
[279.68 --> 281.18] The world is defensive,
[281.52 --> 283.74] and refuses to accept the gospel message,
[283.82 --> 285.18] which in heart is saying,
[285.60 --> 288.02] you need to be saved.
[288.02 --> 288.06] Right?
[290.82 --> 292.24] And Jesus sends people,
[292.50 --> 293.12] the people out,
[293.20 --> 294.20] the 72 disciples,
[294.32 --> 296.60] on a mission of God's kingdom come,
[296.82 --> 298.50] of salvation coming.
[300.28 --> 300.86] Now, you know,
[300.96 --> 302.44] in the beginning of this passage,
[302.56 --> 302.72] right,
[302.78 --> 303.96] we read,
[304.04 --> 304.20] he says,
[304.28 --> 305.46] I'm sending you,
[305.64 --> 306.34] so just picture,
[306.46 --> 307.32] this is the mission trip,
[307.42 --> 307.62] right?
[307.92 --> 308.12] Jesus,
[308.58 --> 310.08] how many of you watched The Chosen?
[311.68 --> 311.92] Yeah,
[312.26 --> 314.42] my wife and I have watched quite a few of the seasons,
[314.52 --> 315.32] but there's this one,
[316.00 --> 316.98] in one of the episodes,
[316.98 --> 318.04] they have this moment,
[318.18 --> 318.32] right,
[318.40 --> 319.60] where they're sent out,
[319.68 --> 320.18] and it kind of,
[320.66 --> 320.80] you know,
[320.82 --> 321.66] whatever you think of The Chosen,
[321.76 --> 323.04] I think it's really good in a lot of ways,
[323.36 --> 324.34] it was kind of cool,
[324.46 --> 325.72] watching these disciples,
[326.50 --> 327.76] suddenly sent out,
[328.60 --> 328.94] and saying,
[329.06 --> 329.24] okay,
[329.46 --> 329.96] you know,
[330.00 --> 330.30] go.
[331.50 --> 332.12] And they go,
[332.32 --> 333.00] okay,
[333.14 --> 333.86] but aren't you coming?
[333.92 --> 334.02] No,
[334.04 --> 334.14] no,
