There is a clever television commercial currently running which advertises Wendy’s hamburgers. The commercial mimics a marketing test in which supposedly random people are asked to choose between two hamburgers. Choice “A” is a Wendy’s hamburger. It is fresh, hot, and juicy. It is the kind of hamburger nobody would refuse. Choice “B” is one from th...
As I currently understand our passage, it falls into three major divisions: (1) Verses 17-20—The Disciples’ Joy & their Salvation (2) Verses 21-22—The Lord’s Joy & the Disciples’ Salvation (3) Verses 23-24—The Disciples’ Joy & the Salvation Sought by Saints of Old There are three themes inter-twined in this text: joy, salvation, and the sovereignty...
It is difficult for us, from our vantage point, to imagine the reticence of the seventy (or 72) as they went out to proclaim the gospel from city to city. Think of how you would have felt if you were sent out, just being told these things. (1) You were being sent out as “lambs among wolves” (10:3). (2) There was in what Jesus said a great deal abou...
I believe that the apprehensions which the seventy must have had have much to do with the enthusiasm they reveal on their return. They come back jubilant. They have seemingly been successful. Apparently they have been relatively successful. Thus, Luke sums up their report in this one statement: “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name” (Luk...
The words of our Lord in these verses are dramatic. They catch our attention because they are the expression of great joy on the part of our Lord, yet at a time when Jesus was resolutely set on going to Jerusalem, where He was to be rejected and put to death (cf. Luke 9:22, 51). In what could our Lord rejoice? What was the source of His joy? At tha...
The disciples were not to find their joy in the submission of the demons to them, but in their salvation. This salvation has been viewed from the disciples’ point of view (“their names are written down in heaven”) and from the viewpoint of the Father (who sovereignly chose them) and the Son, whose joy it was to please the Father by revealing Him to...
Before I move to the conclusion of this message, I must share with you the strong parallel which I see between these words of our Lord spoken to the disciples in Luke chapter 10 with the words written by Peter in the first chapter of his first epistle. In my opinion we find the same three dominant themes: salvation, God’s sovereignty, and the disci...
As we have said throughout the lesson, there is a three-fold emphasis to be found in these verses. Let me reiterate each of these, along with some suggestion regarding their implications for us. (1) There is a strong emphasis on salvation in our text. The disciples are to rejoice, not in their derived power over the demons, but in their salvation. ...

Jan 3, 2024 · First, the Psalms serve as a source of joy, allowing us to find comfort and solace in their words. Second, the Psalms offer a means of expressing joy, providing us with a language to articulate our gratitude and delight.
Christianity is a religion of joy. Real joy comes from God, who has invaded us, conquered us, and liberated us from eternal death and sadness—who has given us hope and joy because He has poured out His love within our hearts by the Holy Spirit whom He has given us (Rom. 5:5). Joy comes from God, not from within.
Apr 23, 2018 · Flowing from the Father’s love in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ, by his humiliation and exaltation, causes his joy to dwell in us and thereby makes our joy full (John 15:11). The Father, who rests in his Son by the Spirit, and the Son, who by the Spirit rejoices in his Father, by the same Spirit come to rest in us, causing ...
