Jul 10

Read the sermon text: Luke 10:21-24

Read the sermon summary: Last Sunday we noticed what we should rejoice in. Not in the power, authority, or gifts we might use for the sake of the kingdom, but because our names are written in heaven. In our next passage, we see what Jesus rejoices in. The Holy Spirit within him gives rise to rejoicing in and giving thanks for the gracious will of the Father in hiding the knowledge of God from some, and revealing it to others. Privately, to the disciples, Jesus highlights the wonderful privilege of seeing and hearing the kingdom of God come in the person of Jesus, the Son of God. In preparation for the sermon consider the following questions: How does God's work of hiding and revealing display the gracious will of the Father? What words are repeated in this passage? In highlighting the privilege of the disciples, what is Jesus emphasizing about them?

Read the following song lyrics in relation to the sermon:

Man Of Sorrows

Verse 1

Man of sorrows Lamb of God

By His own betrayed

The sin of man and wrath of God

Has been on Jesus laid

Verse 2

Silent as He stood accused

Beaten mocked and scorned

Bowing to the Father's will

He took a crown of thorns

Chorus

Oh that rugged cross my salvation

Where Your love poured out over me

Now my soul cries out hallelujah

Praise and honour unto Thee

Verse 3

Sent of heaven God's own Son

To purchase and redeem

And reconcile the very ones

Who nailed Him to that tree

Bridge

Now my debt is paid

It is paid in full

By the precious blood

That my Jesus spilled

Now the curse of sin

Has no hold on me

Whom the Son sets free

Oh is free indeed

Verse 4

See the stone is rolled away

Behold the empty tomb

Hallelujah God be praised

He's risen from the grave
