Luke 10:20
Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven.”

Answer these questions:
- In Luke 10 Jesus sent 70 followers on an evangelistic mission. They returned excited because of the things that happened…miracles, demons being exercised, etc. Jesus rejoiced with them, then told there is something else they should be even more excited about. What was that something else?
- How does it make you feel to know that your name, if you have been saved, is written in heaven…in the Lamb’s Book of Life?
- How does it make you feel to know some of your neighbor’s names are not written in heaven?
- You also have some relatives and coworkers whose names are not written in heaven. Does that bother you?
- Does it bother you enough to talk to them about it? To invite them to church? To pray for their salvation?
After answering these questions write or verbalize a personal prayer to God.
