Luke 10

One big challenge for those wanting to follow Jesus is prioritizing life!  It is so easy to focus on the immediate need that we don’t have time for those things that are eternally significant. This is the story of Martha, a good woman doing some good things, but Jesus praises Mary because she chose what was better. She had her priorities right.

The familiar Good Samaritan story is easily ran over because we know it. Go out of your way to help a stranger in need. But if we take a closer look we: See the question, the answer, the truth and the challenge. Extend compassion by getting involved; giving something you love for something you love more. Be conformed into the image of your Lord.

Matthew 28:1-10

The most important victory in history is the triumph of Jesus Christ over the grave! It happened only once but impacts everyone - the conquest of a dreadful adversary. The empty Tomb is a cause for joyous celebration!

All of our lives we have heard about the importance of a right attitude. When Jesus becomes Lord of your life, he begins to do a work on your attitude; there is to be a different spirit developing in us. This is developed in several incidents at the end of Luke 9.

Luke 9:18-27

One’s identity reveals something about their character and destiny. “Who is Jesus” is a really important question, and his Lordship a really important message. His resurrection declares he is King of kings and Lord of lords. What does it mean to follow the resurrected Lord? Jesus tells us himself, if we follow him then he is Lord of Life.

Luke 8:40-56

Two different stories of hopeless people, in situations beyond their control who turned to Jesus in desperation and found healing. Trust Jesus through the obstacle of people, through the obstacle of disaster.

In this episode of Jesus’ ministry with his disciples, a storm takes center stage (Luke 8:22-25). There is always the potential for fear in a storm, but Jesus moves them toward faith. At the conclusion of this story, Jesus moves his followers from fearing circumstances and things, to a healthy fear of God. “Who is this?”  What is fear keeping you from? Jesus is the prince of peace, and offers you confident peace.

This report (Luke 8:26-39) concerning a demon possessed man is a graphic warning about the potential of evil to enslave us.  At one point in this man’s life he was an innocent child, but at some point he gave Satan an opening and he became a prisoner to evil.  If you are struggling with an addiction or edging closer to a problem, Jesus is a friend who loves you and wants to free you from that.

Jesus tells an illustrative story (Luke 8:5-8), and then basically asks “What are you listening for?” Although he mentions “ears” we find that he is telling us that hearing has to do with the “heart.” Just so, being lost or saved has to do with the heart as well. What do you hear?
