Luke 10 – I love the clarity

After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go. – Luke 10:1 (ESV)

Unlike a mystery novel where you need to wait until the end to find out the big twist, Luke lays out what is going on, even in the narrative passages (versus parts that contain dialogue). He uses the title of "Lord" for Jesus (the word Lord is used nearly 100 times in Luke). Luke shows us his hand; he is unwilling for the identity of Jesus to be left to deduction or speculation. So the question is: does my own life reflect such clarity about the Lordship of Christ? Make it so Lord Jesus, make it so.
