Luke 10:1-11, 16-20
Offering the peace of Christ is more than a friendly handshake, a warm hug, or saying “Hi!” It is a practice to be lived every moment of every day of our lives. It’s the acceptance who they are, not who we want them to be or to do. When Jesus sent out the seventy, he did not condition their offers of peace on who the recipients might be, their worthiness, what they had done, or what their response might be. Some will receive the peace and others will not. We send peace to our friends, family, the stranger, and even to our enemies. When Jesus sent the seventy, they went without a purse, bag, or sandals. It is without “the baggage of our past experiences, fears and wounds, grudges and resentments, pre-judgments and assumptions about others, old beliefs, our need to be right or better than the other, and sometimes our desire to play the victim.” Peace begins from us, our deepest heart, expands to others and to the end of the earth.
