The Return of the Seventy-Two (Luke 10:21-24) — A Sermon by R.C. Sproul

Summary

The sermon explores the perplexing prayer of Jesus found in Luke 10:21-24, which thanks God for hiding truth from the wise and revealing it to babes. The central theme is that salvation is not due to personal merit or intelligence, but solely by God's gracious election. The practical takeaway is to recognize our dependence on God's grace and to understand that the doctrine of election, though controversial, is a gift from God that should foster humility and gratitude.
