Luke 10:1 (EXB) 1 After this, the Lord ·chose [appointed] ·seventy-two [the number may reflect the 70 nations listed in the “table of nations” in Genesis 10 (the Greek text of which reads “72”) and so foreshadows the mission to the Gentiles] others and sent them out in pairs ahead of him into every town and place where he ·planned [was about] to go.

Final Statement: Your frontline is the place where you spend the majority of your time with non-Christians. So, it could be your neighborhood, office, college friends, gym, local coffee shop, grocery store, anywhere. As Christians, we must start making sharing the gospel a priority. To do this will require a shift in how we think about our frontlines. Today, tomorrow, and until our last breath, the church must prepare people for Jesus’ return. I know this is a big calling, but remember this: Jesus has already equipped us to succeed in sharing the good news gospel with the frontlines.
