I am sure you have been taught, as I have, that whenever the Bible repeats something, it must be particularly important. Like Paul exhorting the Philippian church to “Rejoice in the Lord always; again, I will say, rejoice” (Philippians 4: 4).

Psalm 48: The praise of Zion
21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city.” What happened to the promise that when the kings join forces and advanced together, … they’d flee in terror … for You destroyed them like ships of Tarshish shattered by an east wind … because God makes her secure forever? They didn’t believe him: “This is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord!” (Jeremiah 7:4) Jeremiah said it was no longer God’s house: “Has this house, which bears my Name, become a den of robbers to you?” (7:11) Like Jeremiah said, the first temple fell in 587 BC. Consequently, every person who gives allegiance to his Son becomes living evidence of the unfailing love, righteousness, and judgement of God that has now been revealed in him: But now, apart from the Law, God’s righteousness has been demonstrated … in the faithfulness of King Jesus, in all who give him allegiance (Romans 3:21-22).

The Harvest is Plentiful
In Luke 10, Jesus sent out his seventy-two disciples to spread the gospel message. He also gave them very specific commands of what they could and could not do. Jesus sending out his disciples to spread the gospel reminds us that Jesus has compassion for those who do not know him. "When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd" (Matthew 9:36).Sometimes it can be overwhelming just to think of the number of people that yo
