“…Be Glad

That Your Names

Are Written In Heaven.”

Scripture

Luke 10

¹⁷ The 72 returned with joy. They said, “Lord, even the demons obey us when we speak in your name.”

¹⁸ Jesus replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. ¹⁹ I have given you authority to walk all over snakes and scorpions. You will be able to destroy all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you. ²⁰ But do not be glad when the evil spirits obey you. 

Instead, be glad that your names are written in heaven.”

Observation

The disciples came back from their mission trip all excited because they had been able to cast out demons and do miracles. Jesus was filled with joy when they came back and gave Him their report!

Then He gave them a reminder to just be glad that their names are written in heaven. Heaven is going to be so much better than even the best experience we could possibly have here on earth.

The 72 returned with joy over what they had experienced, but Jesus reminded them that they hadn’t seen anything yet! (Eddy paraphrase)

Application

I want to live today in such a way that it brings Jesus joy! How about you? 

Is your name written in Heaven?

 

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You that my name is written in Heaven. What You have in store for me is indescribable! 

That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him." I Cor. 2:9
