Luke-The Investigative Gospel
Bringing Joy To The Lord’s Heart
Luke 10:1-24

1. There Is A Call That Needs Answering

But we do know that when Jesus called they were ready to go.

It is the notion that there is just too much work to do in God’s mission field, and I am only one person what difference can I make.

It is impossible to earnestly pray for the Lord to send laborers into the harvest and not make ourselves available to be a part of the answer.

2. There Is A Consequence That Needs to Be Considered

What is at stake is the eternal destiny of every person who hears the gospel.

People sometimes reject Jesus because of Christians, may that never be true of us.

3. There Is A Joy That Needs To Be Tempered

There is a joy that needs to be tempered by remembering that spiritual highs and emotional victories will come and go but…

4. There Is A Grace That Needs To Be Remembered

The disciples need to remember that while it is true that they’ll be with the Lord forever, it is not because of anything they have contributed but because of His grace.

5. There Is A Privilege that Needs to be Contemplated

He rejoiced because the understanding of that truth did not depend on natural abilities or education.

What is God like? Exactly as Jesus has revealed him.

• The world is perishing with Christ.
• Jesus is coming soon.
• There is a great territory to be covered, a great harvest to reap.
• The need for reaching many as quickly as possible with the gospel is urgent.
• Jesus is Still Sending Are You Going?
