Translations:MC2 09FN Celebration and Commissioning/19/en

'You have been working hard and trusting God while taking steps of faith to minister to those around you. You have probably experienced some of the same feelings that the disciples felt when were sent out by Jesus into unfamiliar villages of Galilee. Today we are here together to reflect and celebrate all that God has done. Let’s remember what Jesus said to the disciples when they celebrated the work God had done through them. “When the seventy-two disciples returned, they joyfully reported to Him, “Lord, even the demons obey us when we use your name!” “Yes,” he told them, “I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning! Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you. But don’t rejoice because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered in heaven.” (Luke 10:17-20) As we acknowledge God’s work through us, let’s remember Jesus’ wise words to help us keep all these things in perspective!'
