Man's Greatest Glory

Luke 10:20  

"Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; 

but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven."  

    When the Seventy returned they meet Jesus at a designated site probably picked by Jesus. The Seventy was radiant with the triumphs which they had worked in the name of Jesus. Jesus said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from Heaven." That is a difficult phrase to understand. Jesus said this because the disciples could not explain the demons submission, Jesus explained it on the basis of Satan's power having been broken. The breaking of the devil's power began with Jesus' temptation and continued throughout His ministry to Gethsemane, and beyond to the cross.

    Although the disciples may have taken this as an occasion for rejoicing, Jesus carefully reminded them that the gift of power was not the main reason for rejoicing; rather, it was the promise of a heavenly home. Surely the disciples would understand that the one who gave them the power to conquer their severest enemies was capable of writing their names in The Lambs Book Of Life. 

    My Friends, Man's greatest glory is not what he does in the name of the Lord, his greatest glory is what The Lord does with Man's name. Let us not get wrapped up in all the gifts and power over evil that God has given us. We must stay focused on the future gift of  Life Ever After!! 

Amen!
