Epistle LXVIII
-- Cyprian of Carthage (c.
254) |
| From the Geneva Notes.
 | "Take up your lodging in that house
which you enter into first, that is, do not be concerned about comfortable
lodging, as men do who plan to stay in a place a long
time: for here that solemn preaching of the gospel, which was used
afterward when the Churches were settled, is not instituted: but these are
sent abroad to all the coasts of Judea to show them that the last jubilee
is at hand." |
|
| From
Matthew
Henry's Commentary (c. 1700).
| "The ministry of the gospel calls men
to receive Christ as a Prince and a Saviour; and he will surely come in
the power of his Spirit to all places whither he sends his faithful
servants." |
|
| From
Wesley's
Notes.
John Wesley
(1703-1791).
| "Rejoice not so much that the devils
are subject to you, as that your names are written in heaven - Reader,
so is thine, if thou art a true, believer. God grant it may never be
blotted out!" |
|
| From the
Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "The mission, unlike that of the
Twelve, was evidently quite temporary. All the instructions are in keeping
with a brief and hasty pioneering mission, intended to supply what of
general preparation for coming events the Lord's own visit afterwards to
the same "cities and places" (Lu 10:1) would not, from want of time, now
suffice to accomplish; whereas the instructions to the Twelve, besides
embracing all those to the Seventy, contemplate world-wide and permanent
effects." |
|
| From The
People's New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
| "The victory of his disciples over the
demons is the harbinger of another fall, when Satan and all his works
shall be destroyed." |

"First
Thoughts on Year C Gospel Passages in the Lectionary," Pentecost 6,
William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
| "I wonder if the invitation to join the
movement of God’s kingdom does not sometimes work like this. It is not
about selling a brand name (‘Christian’), but sharing a vision of change
in such a way that means real participation in making it real in the here
and now." |
|
|
Exegetical Notes
by Brian Stoffregen at CrossMarks Christian Resources.
| "A word distinction that might be worth
mentioning: Sometimes we are "disciples," that is, "learners." Sometimes
we are "apostles," that is, "sent out ones." The old illustration of the
Dead Sea might apply to some of our people -- all inflow with no outflow
-- produces death." |

Proper 9C. Biblical Scholar
Sarah Dylan Breuer looks at readings for the coming Sunday in the lectionary
of the Episcopal Church.
| "Jesus sends out seventy -- a
number of fullness and wholeness -- to exercise authority over every
spirit and every condition that oppresses God's children." |
|

"Eating What Is Set before You (Luke 10:1-11, 16-20)," Paul K. Palumbo,
Word & World, 2001. |
|
"What Jesus Sees," Mary Hinkle, Pilgrim Preaching.
| "Perhaps it works to say that Jesus
sees the beginning of a whole new age in our lives together as well as our
congregational life together? If that is true, and if preaching is indeed
the strange language that communicates the transformed future that has
broken into time in Jesus Christ, then preaching could also be described
as the proclamation of what Jesus sees." |

gifts of the 'infants' among our ranks." |

"Entertaining Angels: Hospitality in Luke and Acts," Andrew
Arterbury, (other resources at)
"Hospitality," Christian Reflection, The Center for Christian
Ethics at Baylor University, 2007.
| "In Luke’s
writings the ancient practice of hospitality—the custom of welcoming
travelers or strangers into one’s home and establishing
relationships with them—becomes the prism through which Jesus’
disciples can view one another and others as valuable children of
God." |

"The
Tension between Poverty and Possessions in the Gospel of Luke,"
John Sheila Galligan, Spirituality Today, Spring 1985.
| "No fanatic about renunciation
of possessions, Jesus nevertheless warned us that they could hinder
our being open to the Kingdom and that we have to use them for
others welfare." |
|
| "The
Identity and Purpose of the Church," Paul D. Hanson, Harvard
Divinity School. Theology Today, 1985.
| "The church's purpose is not
its own. The church is present in the world on behalf of the God by
whose grace it has been called into existence. Thus, at the heart of
the church's act of self definition is a basic theological
question.-What is the nature of Gods presence in the world." |
