Luke 10:24 "for I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it." Jesus makes it very clear that He is the promised Messiah. To get to be there as the Chosen One of…

Luke 10:23 "Then He turned to His disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see;" The disciples had every reason to be thankful. So many would have loved to be in their shoes. And, though we often fail to recognize it, we too are very blessed. The Lord has…

Luke 10:22 " All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him." Jesus is still praying in this verse even though it doesn’t seem…

Luke 10:21 “In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.” The men that Jesus chose to be…

Luke 10:20 “Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”    This is quite an important principle, and it divides whole denominations today.

Luke 10:19 “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”    Though Jesus’ reference to serpents and scorpions may have had some literal fulfillment with the animals by this name, the significance here is spiritual.…

Luke 10:18 “And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.” It is unclear as to exactly what Jesus is referring in this verse. Good scholars have differed as to the exact meaning. Some think it means that Jesus saw the devil swoop down from heaven while His disciples were out ministering.…

Luke 10:17 “Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.”    Greater is He that is in you then he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). Jesus has absolute authority in the spiritual realm. When those He had sent out returned they were…

Luke 10:16 “He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me, and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.”    This really summarizes the point of this passage. Nobody can afford to ignore true ministers of God. Now, let’s be clear as to what we mean here. Sola Scriptura is…

Luke 10:15 “And you, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades.”    In what way was Capernaum exalted to heaven? Jesus ministered there. He Who is God Himself physically came to see these people. He was there, He spoke, He did miracles, He stayed there. Though we can speak of…
