WHAT WAS JESUS SEEING?
And he said to them, "I saw Satan fall like
lightning from heaven. Behold, I have given you authority to tread on
serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing
shall hurt you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits
are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."
In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I thank
you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things
from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children;
yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things have been
handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is except
the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the
Son chooses to reveal him." Then turning to the disciples he said
privately, "Blessed are the eyes that see what you see! For I tell you
that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not
see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it."
Luke 10:18-24 ESV
¶There
is a thing happening in our world which is only a reflection of a great
cosmic drama. It is the high and exalted ones brought low, and
authority granted to the meek and lowly. Can you see it? To the peoples
and tribes and nations of the world it is nothing. To those who are
blessed to see, and to hear, it is life and health and peace. The
kingdom of Heaven, spoken of before in veiled prophecies, was
demonstrated in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. To
understand it is to hear of it in God's Word, and then every day with
praise and thanksgiving to recognize it's fulfillment.
