Luke 10.

5 "When you enter a house, first say, 'Peace to this house."'

is this common to do this in tjc? i never heard someone saying this. But maybe these instructions are for the ones who went out to preach the gospel. But maybe everyone can say it another nice greeting would be the one Boaz used to greet his workers on the field
ruth2.4 "Boaz arrived from Bethlehem and greeted the harvesters, The LORD be with you! The LORD bless you! they called back."
That is pretty nice i think. But today greetings like these are not commonly used.

16 "He who listens to you listens to me; he who rejects you rejects me"

I just have to imagine that I sometimes fall into the trap and become hard hearted when a person who i personally do not appreciate is giving a sermon. Because when you look at the person and see only some bad sides of him you forget to hear the words he speaks which are maybe just rebuking you or trying to help you. So as long as a person speaks in the name of our Lord Jesus and what he says is according to the truth we know from the bible than we are not listeners of this person but of Jesus.


21 "At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit"

hope that we can often feel the same joy ... together and alone!
