The return of the 70 disciples
The return of the seventy disciples (Luke 10.17-24) illustrates their amazement after their mission. Jesus refocuses them on what is essential: rejoicing that their names are written in heaven. He proclaims divine sovereignty in revelation, granted to the humble rather than to the wise. The declaration of verse 22 affirms the unique intimacy of the Father and the Son, making Jesus the only mediator of divine knowledge. Luke thus underlines the continuity of the gospel work.
Luke 10.21-22 (King James Version) :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.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.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org

Without me you can do nothing
The article explores John 15.5, stressing that Christians must depend on Jesus the Messiah in order to bear spiritual fruit. Even though achievements may occur without faith, it is by living connected to Jesus that the disciple accomplishes meaningful things.
Luke 17.7-10 (King James Version) :But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
