So Others May Live (Luke 10:21-24)
Description
In this episode, we pick up in Luke 10:21-24 and look at Jesus’ prayer of thanksgiving, following the sending out of the 72. From this passage, we explore the different aspects of Jesus’ prayer of thanksgiving — from His praise for who God is, to His recognition of what God has done, and finally to a benediction that reaffirms God’s authority. As we walk through the text, we see several key themes emerge: the vital role of humility in God’s Kingdom, the authority of Jesus, the intimate relationship between God the Father and God the Son, and the open invitation for all who are willing to listen and enter that relationship. With Jesus as our model, we are reminded of the clear call to live in such a way that others may see, experience, and participate in the upside-down Kingdom of God.
