VERSED

Every day leading up to Christmas we will be reading, studying, and reflecting on a chapter of the Gospel of Luke. There are twenty-four days leading up to Christmas and twenty-four Chapters in Luke. We are going to enter the celebration of the birth of Jesus with a full context of his life and ministry. My hope and prayer for each of us is that we fully experience a closeness to Jesus like never before. 

Luke 5 shows us what it looks like to come to Jesus as two different men from two different circumstances come to him.  It also shows the scandal of Jesus’ in his relationship and message with the Pharisees.

In Luke 4 we read about the start of Jesus’ ministry which includes his temptation by the devil.

A majority of Luke 3 is dedicated to arguably one of the most compelling characters in the Gospels perhaps one of the most confusing too, John The Baptist. Who was he? What was his purpose? We look at that as well as looking at one of the most famous Bible "contradictions" that critics use to show the flaws of the Bible: the biological genealogy of Jesus.

Luke 2 is perhaps the most read and most famous chapter in the Bible, there’s a lot here that we get into but for me, one of the biggest areas of focus is the kingdom that exists on earth and the kingdom Jesus came to establish.

We are about to do something super cool between now and Christmas. Every day we will be reading, studying, and reflecting on a chapter of the Gospel of Luke. There are 24 days leading up to Christmas and 24 Chapters in Luke. We are going to enter the celebration of the birth of Jesus with a full context of his life and ministry. My hope and prayer for each of us, that we fully experience a closeness to Jesus like never before.

In Luke 1 we enter into the narrative of the life of Jesus with some back story and set up and we see two different ways we can express our doubts to God.

It is all but guaranteed that someone at some point is not going to be happy with you. Someone will talk about you behind your back saying things that are untrue or unfair. I’m sure those memories are flooding back to you now or maybe you’re in the middle of that. 

What do you do in those circumstances? What do you do when life is not fair? What do you turn to? Who do you turn to vent to? 

There’s a model for this in today’s verses. David in the Bible experiences injustice and unfairness and we’ll see what he does with that.

We wrap up our study in John 13. It’s not something that has been a deep study but there is enough here that will be split into three episodes. I encourage you if you haven’t to go back and listen to the first two parts to do that. We are diving into a passage in the book of John that documents Jesus washing the feet of the disciples at The Last Supper. We will read the same passage in these next few episodes but we will have a different reflection in each one. Today we are looking at really the whole point and significance as a whole of what Jesus expects of us. The serious business of forgiveness and servanthood.

We continue our study in John 13. It’s not something that takes a deep study but there is enough here that will be split into three episodes. I encourage you, if you haven’t to go back and listen to the first part. We are diving into a passage in the book of John that documents Jesus washing the feet of the disciples at The Last Supper. We will read the same passage in these next few episodes but we will have a different reflection in each one. Today we are looking at the significance of Peter’s reaction and response to Jesus washing his feet.

Today's verses were submitted by  VERSED listener, Heather. It concerns one of the most frequent questions about God's character and that is God's wrath. Wrath is hard to justify and I have to admit it I felt the same way until I began studying the Bible more than reading it. 

We return to the book of Romans today - written by Paul. Paul has expressed his willingness to come and preach the gospel in Rome to teach the Christians there and to receive encouragement from them. Since most of his original audience had never met him personally, Paul wrote to explain the gospel he preached.

He sets up the Gospel (the good news) against the backdrop of the bad news. The only way we can understand there is a “cure” for a disease is to know that there is in fact a disease that we possess. That’s what happens in today’s reading. We discover WHY we need the wrath of God.
