Epic (Part 4): The Storyline Of The BibleНамуна
In the last chapter, Jesus was preparing 12 followers for ministry. In this one, he is developing 72 and asking them to pray for more. The message of Jesus is designed for growth. The responses to the message vary, but it is available to everyone, and everyone needs to hear it.
The stories of the Good Samaritan and Mary and Martha illustrate misplaced priorities. All are doing good things, but the Samaritan and Mary do the more important things. If God wants more people telling the good news of Jesus, that’s what is important. We can get distracted by doing good things that keep us busy, or we can do the important things.

About this Plan
This is final part of a four part plan to read the books of the Bible that tell of the historical events. Although the Bible contains many stories, it is one epic story of God’s interactions with humanity. One day per week can be used to catch up on missed readings or for reflection. Notes are also included to assist with understanding.
