Luke

“For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost” (Luke 19:10)

April 18, 2012

What Jesus said after visiting the home of Zacchaeus the notorious tax collector. We don’t have to wonder (WWJD) what would Jesus do today. We know. He would be busy seeking the lost.

“When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day. In those days, the people enjoyed banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat and the flood came and destroyed them all” (Luke 17:26-27)

Jesus describes that last days before His return. Do you love the world or do you love His appearing?

“One day Jesus said to his disciples, ‘There will always be temptations to sin, but what sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting!’” (Luke 17:1)

April 14, 2012

A profound warning to the one who would tempt others to join them in their sin. What a misuse of influence is this! We often see this in our celebrity worshiping culture. Is your sin tempting others to sin?

“So his master said, ‘Go out into the country lanes and behind the hedges and urge anyone you find to come, so that the house will be full'” (Luke 14:23)

The Master wants a full house at the banquet. When every seat is taken the banquet will begin. Have you RSVP’d to reserve your seat?

“You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected” (Luke 12:40)

April 8, 2012

The first-century disciples watched for Christ’s 2nd coming with expectation because they had seen Him return from the tomb. On this Resurrection Sunday let us be reminded that He is risen and that He is coming again! Are you ready?

“Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and he will give you everything you need” (Luke 12:31)

April 7, 2012

On this 7th day of Passion Week, we remember that Christ rested in the tomb, His work on the cross finished. Tomorrow, we remember that He conquered death and the grave. Yet, we still worry about lunch. Stop worrying. Seek Him with first priority. Rest in Jesus.

“Don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot do any more to you after that. But I’ll tell you whom to fear. Fear God, who has the power to kill you and then throw you into hell” (Luke 12:4-5)

April 6, 2012

On this Good Friday we remember that Jesus did not fear man more than God. He was crucified by man, but resurrected by God. Whom do you fear?

“This evil generation keeps asking me to show them a miraculous sign. But the only sign I will give them is the sign of Jonah” (Luke 11:29)

April 5, 2012

As Jonah was in the belly of the fish for 3 days, so Jesus would be in the tomb before rising again. Jesus fulfilled every prophecy and prediction concerning His life, death and resurrection. In 3 days we will celebrate this historic truth!

“I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you” (Luke 11:9)

April 4, 2012

The currency of the Kingdom is asking. You have not because you ask not. So hear the words of Jesus. Ask.

“At that same time Jesus was filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit” (Luke 10:21)

April 3, 2012

After the 72 returned rejoicing from their witnessing assignment, Jesus was filled with joy from the Spirit. Two thoughts: 1) You’ve never known true joy until you’ve felt this joy of the Holy Spirit. 2) If you want to share this joy with Jesus, answer the call to be a witness for Him.
