THE SUCCESS OF THE 70
1. The 70 Disciples had a successful mission.
2. They returned to the Lord Jesus with much excitement.
“Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.”
Luke 10:17
a. This was a new experience for the 70.
b. Demons were powerful but they had to obey them when the name of the Lord Jesus was proclaimed.
THE RESPONSE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
1. Satan
a. He was the leader of all the demons.
b. The Lord’s remark.
“I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.”
Luke 10:18
i. Not even Satan can resist the power of the Lord’s name.
ii. He fell as the Disciples ministered successfully.
2. Authority from the Lord
a. Over serpents and scorpions.
i. This was a figure of speech.
ii. Snakes can bite and scorpions can sting.
iii. The Disciples need not be afraid of all that will try and harm them.
b. Over all the power of the enemy.
i. The enemy (Satan) will attempt to harm them.
ii. But the Disciples will have authority over them.
iii. They will not be able to hurt the Disciples.
3. Focus of Rejoicing
a. The focus of rejoicing:
i. For the Disciples, it was that demons were subject to them in the name of the Lord.
ii. This should not be the focus.
b. The true and proper focus:
i. That their names are written in heaven.
ii. Salvation and the hope of heaven should be the focus of rejoicing.
