Reflections on Luke - Part 3

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

Once again, the disciples display the all-too-human trait of focusing on the wrong thing. I find it comforting that even though they walked with Jesus in the flesh during his time here, they still missed the point sometimes (okay, most of the time). I've been a Christian my whole life and there are many, many times when I get spun off and excited about the wrong things. But Jesus is so patient and so faithful to gently remind me of the important things.
