The Tree Church

The 72 return from their journey with stories of success and miraculous happenings. They seem almost shocked at all that God had done through them, and they are excited. Jesus confirms their excitement by rejoicing with them and yet Jesus takes the moment to remind them of something even greater than their success in ministry. That they have eternal life with Christ. Just like all good things God created, success isn’t bad...no…success is good, pleasure is good, happiness is good…but a deep, life giving, day in and day out, personal relationship with the Creator and Savior is better. This relationship is the only thing that will always last, weather any circumstance, and live up to what it promises (our eternal, joyful life).
