Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

The march of Jesus to His death is on. We heard that last week. He is going to Jerusalem. He is going to the cross. He is going to lay down His life. FOR YOU. But as He goes He sends out 72 others to go ahead of Him. A mission of peace. Of proclaiming peace and giving peace. The peace that Jesus is going to Jerusalem to establish -- not with Rome or the political powers of His day, but with God. But they do not go powerless. They are armed with the same weapon as Jesus: the Word.
