Scripture Post #453: *BLESSED EYES*

Luke 10:

23 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see: 

24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

JESUS' Disciples (specifically HIS 70 in this Passage of Scripture) had *BLESSED EYES* to witness CHRIST in HIS glory, on earth, in person! "…Many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see…" I for one desire to see what their *BLESSED EYES* saw! It's all good though. I'm thankful for my current place in GOD.

Luke 10:1: "After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come."

V. 2: "Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest."

V. 3: "Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves."

V. 4: "Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way."

V. 5: "And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house."

V. 6: "And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again."

V. 7: "And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house."

V. 8: "And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:"

V. 9: "And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you."

V. 10: "But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,"

V. 11: "Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you."

V. 12: "But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city."

V. 13: "Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes."

V. 14: "But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you."

V. 15: "And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell."

V. 16: "He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me."

V. 17: "And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name."

V. 18: "And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven."

V. 19: "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you."

V. 20: "Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven."

V. 21: "In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight."

V. 22: "All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him."

V. 23: "And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:"

V. 24: "For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them."
