Luke 10
We’re told in today’s reading that Jesus was filled with joy when the 72 He had appointed came back with positive reports from the mission field. Max Lucado wrote a book entitled, The Applause of Heaven, where he describes God in terms of applauding those who enter into His eternal kingdom. I’m conducting a class on difficult questions. This Sunday we will be looking at whether or not hell is real. Even though scripture is abundantly clear on the existence of hell and the final judgment, there is nothing in the word of God, or the life of Christ, that even hints at the Lord taking pleasure in condemnation. On the other hand, He takes great pleasure in the salvation of any who choose to follow Him. Isn’t it great that we get to share in His joy?!
