Achieving something great in service to the Lord can give us a sense of accomplishment. Praying for someone to be healed and then seeing it actually happen would cause anyone to be proud about what had taken place.
The disciples, were displaying their excitement at the fact that demons had obeyed them,
however, no matter what we do in the Lord's name, it can never compare to what he has done for us. His sacrifice meant that we can rejoice in the fact that we have a place in his kingdom.
What we do in his name spans from what he has already done for us. So whilst it's amazing to be able to lay hands on people see them healed and for demons to be cast out, our acts of service should never overshadow the Lords greater act of love.
