Luke 10:16-20

Joy as we serve Jesus

About the next group of questions

We can be happy as we serve God. We read about that in this passage. We also discover how to be safe from evil power and from Satan.

Pray

Ask God to help you to understand what you read today. And ask him to protect you from everything that is evil.

Read: Luke 10:16-20

10:16 Who is the Christian worker’s boss? Who are people really refusing when they refuse to accept a Christian?

10:17 How did the 70 workers feel when they returned to Jesus? What made them happy at this time?

10:18 Who fell when the workers ordered demons to go out of people?

10:19 What things did Jesus give the workers authority to do? What did Jesus promise to give his workers?

10:20 What is even more important than the power over evil things? Does this fact give you real joy?

Final remarks

God wants all people to be free from anything that is evil. He is pleased when Satan loses power. Jesus gives his people authority over evil things and he protects them from danger. Jesus does not want us only to be happy about what we do for him. He wants us to be happy about the fact that we belong to God now.

Pray

Dear God, you have rescued me from the result of the evil things that I have done. Thank you for that. Help me to use your authority over evil things. And help me not to be afraid. Use me to tell other people about how you rescue us. And use me to tell them about your power and your kindness. Amen.
