Luke 10:1 (NLT) The Lord now chose 72 other disciples and sent them ahead in pairs to all the towns and places He planned to visit.
The disciples and apostles were appointed to go and preach. They were followers who gave up something to follow Jesus (Mark 1:18: “left their nets to follow Him”). (See Luke 14:25-27; Luke 9:57-62.) When Jesus starting teaching about “taking up a cross,” the drop-outs began (John 6:60, 66). Following Jesus as a disciple will necessarily involve making choices to turn away from some things in order to prioritize our relationship with Him. What sacrifices have you made for Him lately?
