It reflects the itinerant nature of Jesus' ministry and the mission of His disciples. The instruction to enter a house suggests a personal and relational approach to ministry, emphasizing the importance of community and fellowship. This practice is consistent with the cultural norms of the time, where offering hospitality was a significant social duty.<p><b>begin by saying</b><br>The directive to begin with a specific greeting underscores the importance of intentionality in ministry. It highlights the need for a deliberate approach when engaging with others, setting the tone for the interaction. This aligns with the broader biblical principle of speaking life and blessing into situations, as seen in <a href="/proverbs/18-21.htm">Proverbs 18:21</a>, which speaks of the power of the tongue.<p><b>‘Peace to this house.’</b><br>The greeting of peace, or "shalom" in Hebrew, is deeply rooted in Jewish tradition and conveys a blessing of wholeness, well-being, and harmony. It is more than a simple wish for the absence of conflict; it encompasses a holistic sense of God's blessing. This greeting reflects the messianic peace that Jesus brings, as prophesied in <a href="/isaiah/9-6.htm">Isaiah 9:6</a>, where the Messiah is called the "Prince of Peace." It also connects to Jesus' post-resurrection appearances, where He greets His disciples with "Peace be with you" (<a href="/john/20-19.htm">John 20:19, 21, 26</a>), signifying the peace that comes through His victory over sin and death.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a></b><br>The speaker of this instruction, Jesus is sending out His disciples to spread the message of the Kingdom of God.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_disciples.htm">The Disciples</a></b><br>The immediate audience of Jesus' instruction, tasked with going ahead of Him to every town and place He was about to visit.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_house.htm">The House</a></b><br>Represents the homes and families that the disciples would encounter on their mission.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_mission.htm">The Mission</a></b><br>The broader context of this verse is the sending of the seventy-two disciples to prepare the way for Jesus' ministry.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_towns_and_villages.htm">The Towns and Villages</a></b><br>The various locations where the disciples were sent to proclaim the message of peace and the coming of God's Kingdom.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_peace.htm">The Importance of Peace</a></b><br>The greeting of peace is not just a formality but a profound blessing and a declaration of God's presence.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_the_messenger.htm">The Role of the Messenger</a></b><br>As disciples of Christ, we are called to be bearers of peace, reflecting the peace of Christ in our interactions.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/h/hospitality_and_receptivity.htm">Hospitality and Receptivity</a></b><br>The response to the greeting of peace can indicate the openness of the household to the message of the Gospel.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/spiritual_preparation.htm">Spiritual Preparation</a></b><br>Before engaging in ministry or mission, spiritual preparation and the invocation of peace are crucial.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/p/peace_as_a_testimony.htm">Peace as a Testimony</a></b><br>The peace we offer and embody serves as a testimony to the transformative power of the Gospel.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_luke_10.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Luke 10</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_the_bible_say_on_house_blessings.htm">What does the Bible say about house blessings?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_christmas_truly_signify.htm">What does Christmas truly signify?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/day_26_insights_on_spiritual_growth.htm">What events define the Triumphal Entry in Volume 23?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/peace_or_division__jesus'_intent.htm">Did Jesus come to bring peace or division?
