Following Jesus can lead you to some unexpected places. For 72 of Jesus’s first followers, it put them out as “sheep among wolves.” Yet when they returned from their mission, they rejoiced in the power they had while out on mission. As followers of Jesus, how do we reconcile these two characterizations of our mission: one sounds vulnerable and scary, and the other sounds powerful and victorious. In Luke 11, Jesus helps us see the way the kingdom works and what are role must be as we follow him as disciples.
