Evening: Psalm 119:25-48; Luke 10:17-24
‘The Satan’, in the Gospel, is the power of evil, God’s purpose gone awry, causing suffering on the earth. The disciples tell Jesus excitedly about their efforts. He responds that he saw ‘the Satan’ fall; not to make them over-confident that they themselves overcome evil - that is God’s work - but to let them know that what they are doing, though small, is vital. Assuring us that God overwhelms the power of evil, Jesus wants us to know that the Great Work of shaping the New Creation is now already under way, in us, motley crew that we are!
