Our hold on Christ strengthens during our trials, as does Christ’s hold on us.

Luke wrote to ensure that we understand and find hope in Jesus’ identification with us as the promised Servant of God sent to redeem His people.

True repentance reorients the heart

away from self to Jesus, the incomparable Christ, who will gather to Himself

those who trust Him but will judge

those who reject Him.

God sends His messengers to you

with gracious warnings so that you

will hear, respond, and be saved.

Truth #4.  You Belong Together

Truth #5.  Hope in God Creates Affection for Others

Truth #6.  Divine Justice Empowers Full Forgiveness

Jesus’ circumstances and interactions testify to His identity as the Son of God,

and His words and actions, even at 12, serve to instruct us now.

How do we address our differences when they are, in fact, matters of Righteousness? How Christians address differences says something about Christ.
