Luke 10:1-24
In the first few verses of this passage, The Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them out two by two.
Almost everyone finds find comfort and strength in pairs. There are always a few exceptions. We marry as couples, we work in teams, and duos. Pondering why our Lord chose to send his workers by twos: Maybe he did this for safety. If you have something dangerous to do, you want to have somebody with you. Another reason would be for mutual encouragement. While one was speaking the other of the party could be praying. It is also a sign of we are in this together as followers of Jesus. From personal experience, I find comfort, strength and wisdom from being with my mate, a friend and/or colleague. Most comforting is that our God knows what is best for us when he gives these directives even today.
