Luke 10:20 For the Modern Christian
Do not rejoice in this, that you preached a great sermon, or wrote a great blog post, or spoke at a conference. Do not rejoice in this, that you overcame a long-nagging sin, or prayed for three hours, or racked up a 57-day streak of Bible-reading. Do not rejoice in this, that you led a friend to Christ, or grew your small group, or attend a healthy church. Do not rejoice in this, that you have overcome temptation, or acheived spiritual successes, or have climbed the mountain of personal holiness.
Do not rejoice in this, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.
