What it means, when Jesus says “woe to you…”Luke 10:5-16

There are others who love Jesus and are with us, doing what we are doing in their space and time……we are not alone, and neither should feel that way…God IS moving the kingdom of forward, gathering up His children and sending them back out with His merciful message of hope. The harvest is ripe, pray, ask the Lord of the harvest to send workers into the field…Do not be discouraged… there are others Luke 9:1; 10:1-4

It’s never all that it appears to be… there’s always more.What it appears to be, and what it is. It is not that something is “one or the other”, but, it is almost always “one and the other….”We call this discernment. How will we live? Like Jesus? Mark 9:14-27; Luke 9:42-43
