This week on the Word of the Lord endorsed forever we finish up first Peter with

shepherd the flock and a roaring lion. Then we plow on into second Peter with

introduction and entrance into the Kingdom, and by way of reminder.

Join me, Pastor Will Wheaton, for the Word of the Lord endures forever your daily 15 minute

verse by verse Bible, on demand listen at the word

indoors or your favorite podcast provider. Now pay close attention little children it's somebody you ought to know

yeah it's all about a man that walked on earth nearly 2,000 years ago

well he had I been one of the disciples in a two thousand years ago.

Had I been one of the disciples, those 70 or 72 that Jesus sent out in preparation

for his arrival in various towns. The prospect of going out with nothing, not

supposed to carry anything, any provision whatsoever, the possibility of being rejected

by entire towns, maybe accepted by others, and the possibility rejected by

others and the possibility that as he says I'm sending you out as she says I'm sending you out as sheep among wolves

Wouldn't have been very attractive, but those 70 come back and they

rejoicing that even the demons submitted to them in the name of Jesus.

Welcome back to issues etc. coming to you live from the studios of

Lutheran Public Radio in Collinsville, Illinois.

I'm Todd Wilkin.

Thanks for tuning us in.

Pastor Tom Baker will join us to teach a Sunday school lesson on those 72

being set by Jesus, then we'll talk about what we should value and why

with Dr. John Ferguson.
