Sunday Message
“The Real Reason to Rejoice” Luke 10:17-20
Luke 10:17-20 17And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, LORD, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
“If Your Name is Written in Heaven – You Should Rejoice”
“It is both his privilege and duty to rejoice in the Lord.” For one thing, we were rescued from the coming wrath of God; we were regenerated by God’s Holy Spirit; we were ransomed by Jesus giving His own life; and so remember that we too had the wrath of God abiding on us, but “you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God” (1st Cor. 6:11). Rejoice in that my friend; again I say, rejoice!
