LUKE CHAPTER 10<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCRIPTURE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I will summarize Luke chapter 10 where Luke wrote about Jesus sending out seventy -two men and sending them out into the towns he was about to visit.\u00a0 Where Jesus taught about the Good Samaritan and where Jesus talked with Mary and Martha.\u00a0 Jesus was going into numerous towns, preaching his message but before he went, he wanted people to prepare the way for him.\u00a0 So, Jesus rounded up 72 men and told each of them what he wanted.\u00a0 Jesus said to get a partner so that there are two of you.\u00a0 Go into the towns I tell you and reach the message of the kingdom of God.\u00a0 Carry any money or a bag or extra shoes and don\u2019t greet anyone on the way.\u00a0 If someone is willing to allow you to stay at their house.\u00a0 Stay there for your entire trip.\u00a0 Eat whatever they give to you.\u00a0 Then go into the city and heal the sick and cast out demons.\u00a0 If a city does not welcome you go into the street and shake the dust off your shoes in front of them in protest.\u00a0 But still, make sure that you preach that the kingdom of God has come near to them.\u00a0\u00a0 So, the 72 to all the towns that Jesus was soon going to visit.\u00a0 Then they returned.\u00a0 They had quite the stories to tell about the healings and casting out demons.\u00a0 They said, \u201cJesus even the demons obey us when we use your name.\u00a0 Jesus said,\u201d Yes, indeed.\u201d I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning when he fell.\u00a0 I have given you authority over all the demon serpents and scorpions.\u00a0 I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy.\u00a0 But don\u2019t rejoice that you have power over the enemy.\u00a0 You rejoice that your name is recorded in heaven in the Lamb\u2019s book of life.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus then spontaneously began to pray to the father in heaven through the Holy Spirit.\u00a0 He said,\u201d I praise you father, Lord of heaven and the Earth for hiding all of these things from the intelligent and revealing them to infants.\u201d \u201cIt was pleasing in your sight.\u201d\u00a0 Jesus then spoke to the disciples and said,\u201d All things have been handed over to me by my father.\u00a0 No one knows who I am except the father and know, one knows the father except me. And I can reveal to anyone to whom I want to.\u00a0 Blessed are the eyes that see the things that you are seeing.\u00a0 Many prophets and kings wanted to see what you saw but they were not able to.\u00a0 A little while later, a teacher of the law, who is an expert in the Moses law stood up to test Jesus.\u00a0 He said,\u201d Teacher, What, must I do to inherit eternal life?\u00a0 Jesus asked him a question in return.\u00a0 Jesus asked what is written in the law.\u00a0 How did the scriptures explain how you inherit eternal life?\u00a0 The teacher of the law answered and said,\u201d It clearly says, \u201cYou shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and your strength and Love Your neighbor as yourself.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0Jesus answered and said, \u201cYou have answered correctly.\u201d\u00a0 Do this and you will live.\u00a0 But the teacher of the law wasn\u2019t pleased that Jesus made him answer his question.\u00a0 He wanted to justify himself in his original question.\u00a0 He said,\u201d So, Jesus, who is my neighbor?\u00a0 Jesus replied with a story.\u00a0 Jesus continued; a Jewish man was going down on a road from Jerusalem to Jericho.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robbers saw him, beat him almost to death, and stole everything he had.\u00a0 He lay injured on the side of the road.\u00a0 By chance, a priest came down the same road.\u00a0 When the priest saw the man, he thought I\u2019m busy I can\u2019t be bothered.\u00a0 I don\u2019t care if you die young man and he went on his way.\u00a0 Likewise, a Levite did the same thing but later a Samaritan came by.\u00a0 He saw the injured Jewish man on the side of the road.\u00a0 He felt compassion.\u00a0 He rejected the hatred he was supposed to feel for this enemy of his.\u00a0 He said to himself,\u201d I am on an important trip and I don\u2019t have time for this but this man is more important than my plans.\u00a0 So, the Samaritan man got off his donkey, banded up the Jewish man\u2019s wounds, took him to an inn, and took care of him all night long.\u00a0 The next day he gave money to the Innkeeper and said,\u201d Take care of him.\u00a0 If you need more money, I will give it when I return.\u00a0 Then Jesus asked the teacher of the law and said, \u201cWho, proved to be a neighbor to the injured man?\u00a0 The teacher of the law replied,\u201d The man who showed mercy to him.\u201d Jesus answered,\u201d Yes absolutely correct.\u201d \u201cGo and do the same thing.\u201d\u00a0 As Jesus was traveling along, he entered a certain village where Martha and Mary lived.\u00a0 Martha invited Jesus in for a meal and she began the preparation.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mary Martha\u2019s sister didn\u2019t help her.\u00a0 She sat down at Jesus\u2019s feet and listened to him speak and teach.\u00a0 Martha saw this and became annoyed.\u00a0 She said to Jesus, \u201cLord, don\u2019t you care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her to come and help me!\u00a0 Jesus replied,\u201d Martha, Martha! You are worried and troubled over so many things, but just one is needed.\u00a0 Mary has chosen the right thing, and it will not be taken away from her.\u201d Come and Join her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OBSERVATION<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thing I think the lord wants us to understand after reading this chapter is that Jesus said that he saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning negating the idea that Satan is only a representation of evil and not an actual being.  God wants us to see that Jesus gave his disciples power and authority to perform medical healings and exorcism.  The Lord wants us to see that Jesus\u2019s disciples should rejoice that their names are written in the Lamb of the Book of Life in heaven.  God wants us to see that Eternal life will be given to people who love the Lord with all their being.  No one loves grudgingly and out of duty.  God wants us to see that he thinks that listening to and speaking with Jesus is much more important than doing things for him.  Jesus explicitly said that listening to and talking with him is the only legitimate thing anyone needs to be concerned about.  Have you been trying to serve God begrudgingly?  God wants you to change.  He wants you to joyfully love him and listen to his words.  If you have been following Jesus out of a sense of duty, if you are honest with yourself you would agree that this is not genuine love.  There is still time to repent and obey his command to love him with all of your being.  You can ask God to change you.  Come let us do that right now.  Come let us place our faith in Jesus Christ for salvation.  Jesus humbled himself and died on the cross in our substitute. Come let us repent before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRAYER<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lord as I prepare my heart and mind for changing my behavior, I ask that your divine guidance will be clear to me.  Help me to make this change, A holy change as I look to you for all my strength and guidance.  Allow your way of life to rule in my thoughts and actions. Loving father, I know I need to change.  I have been shown so many times.  Reveal to me oh lord my inner self.  Show me the root of my problem.  Jesus came down to share in our suffering and hurt.  Help me to open up to you the dark messy places that is in my heart.  Come in Oh lord and free me, heal me, cleanse me, May the Holy Spirit do this work in me. I cannot do it alone.  I need you and those you send to me.  My strength comes from you that gives life.  In Christ all things are possible.  A change can happen.  When your work is done according to your time. I will rise again, with Christ, restored and resurrected.  I know I have repeatedly said, \u201cI just can\u2019t.\u201d But I know as long there is hope and faith.  You can change me.  When the lord has set me free, I am free indeed.  (5) times<\/strong>.  I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.   Amen<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
