—Luke 10:1-9
At my son’s 5th birthday party, he and his three friends were vastly outnumbered by adults, leaving them a little overwhelmed playing with all the gifts and collecting candy from the piñata. I believe Jesus is telling us that His followers may find themselves in a similar situation. Candy and toys are fun but can make it difficult to slow down and share Christ. Jesus’ message is that those that make time will find themselves with an abundance of people to talk to—like a child in a sea of candy; surrounded by options, unable to get them all, and full of joy for the chance to be a part of it. We simply have to be intentional and aware of the needs of those around us.
