Bible Verse:

Luke 10:1-12 The Seventy Sent Out

10:1 Now after this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come.

And He was saying to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.

Go; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves.

Carry no money belt, no bag, no shoes; and greet no one on the way.

Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’

If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.

Stay in that house, eating and drinking what they give you; for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not keep moving from house to house.

Whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you;

and heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’

But whatever city you enter and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,

‘Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off in protest against you; yet be sure of this, that the kingdom of God has come near.’I say to you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.

Luke 10: 17-20 The Happy Results

The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.”

And He said to them, “I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning.

Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you.

Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven.

My Remark:

We discussed the exact wordings that Jesus told how to evangelise in this week.

“Peace be to this house.” will be the greeting when we visit people’s home. This just like the secret that shared among the Christians.

In this photo, I shoot the decoration that I put on the main door to symbolise the welcome of the peace in this house.

Updated on 16 Oct, 2019:

I confessed that I bought the decoration without careful consideration. But God let me know…… so I finally printed my recent favourite photo with the greeting on an aluminium plate.

In the photo, the flower was blowing up by a wind such that the shadow of the stamen was reflected on the petal. This is an amazing moment and I’m lucky to capture it.

But it is regrettable that the flower is not in perfect condition. You can see the spot on the petal which defected the shadow of the stamen.

Anyway, this is my recent favourite photo.

I learnt a new Hebrew word, Shalom, which is the original word used in bible to represent the greeting of Peace be to this house.

Hence, I changed the photo as well as below:
