Luke describes Jesus at work in the world through His disciples in this section. The work is a warning to the wicked and a cause of comfort for the hurting. But there is a deeper work being accomplished in the hearts of the disciples. Obeying Jesus is an invitation to a meaningful life. Do you want Jesus to lead you into meaningful living? What examples of obedience from this past week do you have?

The announcement of the coming Kingdom is paired with samples of judgment that Jesus has determined are out of place in His Kingdom. He sends His disciples out to evict

demons and disease from His lands. If our homes are ruled by Christ, are we making space for the vile to remain or are we seeking to have our homes glorify Him?

The call of Jesus here is for all of His disciples to part ways with wickedness for the exaltation of His Name. Faithfulness means proclaiming His right to rule and demonstrating it in holy living. How is Jesus leading you to make much of Him this week?
