Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this passage show me about God?

    • What did Jesus tell the seventy-two to do when they entered a town or a house?
    • What were they to do if a person of peace welcomed them, and if no one did?
  2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

    • What makes you hesitate to go to people who do not yet know Jesus?
  3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

    • Where will you go this week to look for someone God has prepared? Name a place and a time.
  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who in your life is open, curious, or welcoming? When could you offer to read the Bible with them?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

Jesus, go ahead of me as you went ahead of those you sent. Show me the person of peace you have already prepared, and make me ready to stay with them.
