Luke 10:3 KJV
Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
My mind stuck on the words, "Go your ways...."
They did not all go the same way
They would not have all had the same experiences.
Some of them would have gone to towns and villages where they were received and well cared for while they preached.
Some of them would have gone to towns and villages where they had to leave, shaking the dust off of their feet.
Some no doubt would have run into difficulties with the religious of their day.
Some of them might have gone to places where they preached unhindered.
But all of them when they returned to Jesus did so with joy.
They did not complain about the trials
They did not mention those who refused to hear
They were back in the presence of the Lord and their only reports were of the successes of the Gospel.
I see this as similar to our case today. We each have our own way to go for the Lord. We do not experience the same successes. We endure different levels of difficulty and hardship. But when we stand before the Lord the only things we will want to report about are the joys we have had in living for the Lord.
