Scripture Luke 10: 17-20

Jesus had commissioned seventy men to go two by two throughout the area with the command to heal the sick and cast out devils. When they returned they were full of joy because they found that through Jesus name the devils were indeed subject to them. Their mission had been so successful that Jesus said in Verse 18 that He saw Satan as lighting fall from heaven. I guess the devil's army had been given quite a jolt.

Then Jesus told them that He had given them power so that nothing could hurt them, but they were not to rejoice in that. What they were to rejoice in was the fact that their names were written in heaven. That statement from Jesus still holds true today. While it is great to be able to cast out devils and heal the sick, the greatest miracle of all is still the salvation of our souls. To have our names written in the Lamb's book of life. Remember, the wrath of God will be eventually outpoured upon this earth.

What do you rejoice in today? Is your life secure with Jesus? Have you invited Him into your heart? Are you living for Him everyday? If you are, wonderful. If you're not, then bow your head right now and ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins and start now to live for Him.




The most important thing today
Is your name is written down
So when you stand before him
To hell you won't be bound
