📖 Luke 6:46–49 (ESV)
46 “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you?
47 Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like:
48 he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.
49 But the one who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the stream broke against it, immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.”

Jesus ends His Sermon on the Plain with a piercing question:
“Why do you call Me ‘Lord’ but refuse to obey Me?”
True discipleship is not measured by words but by obedience. Hearing without doing is like building a house with no foundation—beautiful on the outside but destined for collapse.

This passage teaches:
✔ Obedience is the evidence of genuine faith
✔ Storms reveal the true foundation of our lives
✔ Christ, the Rock, is the only foundation that can withstand trials
✔ Empty profession (“Lord, Lord”) is spiritually dangerous
✔ A transformed heart always produces transformed living

🎧 Build your life on what lasts—on Christ and His Word.

📖 Luke 6:43–45 (ESV)
43 “For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit,
44 for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush.
45 The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil,
for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.”

Jesus teaches a simple but profound truth: your life reveals your heart.
Just as a tree is known by the fruit it bears, a person’s words, actions, and attitudes reflect what is stored within.

This passage teaches:
✔ Behavior flows from the heart
✔ Good treasure produces good fruit
✔ Evil treasure produces harmful fruit
✔ Words reveal the true condition of the heart
✔ Spiritual fruitfulness requires staying connected to Christ

We don’t become godly by trying harder—we become fruitful by being rooted in Jesus, the true Vine. From Him flows love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

🎧 Reflect on what kind of fruit your life is producing—and what it says about your heart.

📖 Luke 6:39–42 (ESV)
39 He also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?
40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.
41 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
42 How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye?
You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye.”

Jesus gives a powerful parable exposing the danger of judging others without first examining ourselves. Spiritual blindness, pride, and hypocrisy distort the way we see people—and make us unfit to guide anyone.

This passage teaches:
✔ You cannot lead others when you are spiritually blind
✔ True disciples grow to reflect the character of Christ
✔ Self-examination must come before correction
✔ Hypocrisy destroys spiritual credibility
✔ Only a humble, healed heart can help others see clearly

Jesus is not prohibiting discernment—He is commanding humility, self-awareness, and transformation so that judgment is righteous, not self-righteous.

🎧 Learn how to cultivate a heart that judges rightly—one shaped by mercy, truth, and Christlike humility.

#GospelLightFilipino #GodsWordForToday #RightHeartToJudge #Luke6 #ChristianPodcast #DailyDevotional

📖 Luke 6:37–38 (ESV)
37 “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;
38 give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap.
For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”

Jesus’ words here are often quoted but rarely understood in context.
He is not forbidding discernment—He is forbidding a condemning, self-righteous spirit.
The command is rooted in the previous teachings on mercy, forgiveness, and love for enemies.

This passage teaches:
✔ Judging harshly invites judgment back on us
✔ Condemning others destroys compassion
✔ Forgiving releases both the offender and our own hearts
✔ God responds generously to a generous spirit
✔ Our treatment of others reveals our understanding of God’s grace

The heart posture Jesus calls for is one of mercy—because we ourselves have received mercy.

🎧 Let this episode remind you: the forgiven must forgive, the loved must love, and the merciful reflect their Father.

📖 Luke 6:27–36 (ESV)
27 “But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.
29 To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either.
30 Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back.
31 And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.

32 “If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount.
35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great,
and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.
36 Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.

Jesus calls His followers to a love radically different from the world’s.
Loving enemies is impossible by human strength, yet it reflects the heart of God who loved us when we were still His enemies.

This passage teaches:
✔ Love is not emotion—it is action
✔ Blessing, praying, and doing good breaks cycles of hatred
✔ Kingdom love exceeds worldly reciprocity
✔ God rewards those who love without expecting return
✔ Our mercy reflects our Father’s character

This is the life of a true disciple—loving like Christ, even when it costs.

🎧 Be encouraged: God empowers us to love beyond what is natural.

📖 Luke 6:24–26 (ESV)
24 “But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation.
25 “Woe to you who are full now, for you shall be hungry.
“Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep.
26 “Woe to you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets.”

After declaring the Beatitudes (blessings), Jesus now announces four woes—a sobering warning to those who find their comfort and identity in this world. The contrast is sharp: while disciples may suffer now and rejoice later, those who live for earthly satisfaction will experience the opposite.

This passage teaches us:
✔ Earthly riches offer temporary comfort
✔ Self-satisfaction blinds people to their spiritual need
✔ Worldly laughter often masks spiritual emptiness
✔ The praise of people can be dangerous when it comes at the expense of truth
✔ Those who follow the path of the false prophets will share their fate

Jesus is not condemning wealth, food, or joy—He is warning against a heart that trusts in them instead of God.

🎧 Be reminded today: temporary comfort is no substitute for eternal joy.

📖 Luke 6:20–23 (ESV)
20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said:
“Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
21 Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.
22 Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man!
23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets.”

Jesus opens His Sermon on the Plain with a radical declaration:
True blessing is not found in comfort, wealth, or applause—
it is found in belonging to the kingdom of God.

This passage teaches us:
✔ The poor in this world are rich in God’s kingdom
✔ Those who hunger now will be filled by God
✔ Tears will turn into laughter for those who trust Him
✔ Persecution for Christ is a privilege, not a punishment
✔ Heaven’s reward outweighs earthly suffering

The Beatitudes remind us that the values of God’s kingdom reverse the world’s definitions of success and happiness. Followers of Jesus can rejoice even in hardship because their hope is anchored in eternity.

🎧 Be strengthened today: earthly suffering will be replaced with heavenly joy.

📖 Luke 6:17–19 (ESV)
17 And he came down with them and stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon,
18 who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured.
19 And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all.

Luke summarizes Jesus’ ministry in a powerful scene:
Standing on a “level place,” Jesus teaches, heals, frees the oppressed, and welcomes crowds from near and far—including Gentile regions like Tyre and Sidon. His compassion, power, and authority cannot be mistaken.

This passage reveals:
✔ The expanding influence of Jesus’ ministry
✔ His compassion for physical and spiritual needs
✔ His authority over diseases and demons
✔ His willingness to heal all who came
✔ That true discipleship goes beyond receiving miracles—it means building one’s life on Him

🎧 Be encouraged as we reflect on the Savior who still “goes about doing good” and invites all to come, hear, and be transformed.

📖 Luke 6:12–16 (ESV)
12 In these days he went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God.
13 And when day came, he called his disciples and chose from them twelve, whom he named apostles:
14 Simon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew,
15 and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot,
16 and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

Before choosing the twelve apostles—men who would become pillars of the early church—Jesus spent the entire night in prayer.
He withdrew to the mountain, seeking the Father’s guidance. This is the only recorded instance in Scripture where Jesus prayed all night. It reveals the weight of the decision before Him and His complete dependence on the Father.

This passage teaches us:
✔ Major decisions must be bathed in prayer
✔ Jesus models humility and dependence despite His divinity
✔ God chooses ordinary people for extraordinary mission
✔ True leadership begins with communion with the Father
✔ Prayer aligns us with God’s will, not our own

🎧 Be encouraged to follow Jesus’ example—seeking God deeply before making life-shaping decisions.

📖 Luke 6:6–11 (ESV)
6 On another Sabbath, he entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.
7 And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might find a reason to accuse him.
8 But he knew their thoughts, and he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come and stand here.” And he rose and stood there.
9 And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to destroy it?”
10 And after looking around at them all he said to him, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored.
11 But they were filled with fury and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.

The Pharisees watched Jesus closely—not with admiration, but with malice.
They valued their man-made rules more than mercy.
But Jesus revealed the true heart of God: doing good is always lawful, even on the Sabbath.

This passage teaches us:
✔ Jesus knows our thoughts and motives
✔ The Sabbath is a blessing, not a burden
✔ Compassion is greater than tradition
✔ Refusing to do good is itself a form of harm
✔ Hardened hearts oppose God even while claiming to honor Him

🎧 Reflect on how Jesus restores not only bodies but truth, compassion, and the real meaning of God’s commands.
