04 26 Luke 14.1-14 Jesus uses a parable to teach the religious who had set a trap for Him on the Sabbath that their self-righteousness would not bring favor with God for them to receive places of honor in heaven. Instead they would be humbled. We can only come to Christ in humility as we recognize that we have nothing in ourselves that would merit eternal life. It is only and always has been about Christ.
04 19 Luke 13.31-35 Once again Jesus is confronted with someone seeking His life. Though He did not take it lightly, He was unconcerned knowing that His destiny and death would be in Jerusalem. He rested confidently in the will of God, a will He was committed to. The sovereignty of God is evident here and should encourage us that nothing will happen to us outside the will of God. With that in mind there is nothing to fear. We also see in this passage that the compassion of Christ is clear and for those who reject Him, His condemnation is just. The good news is that His coming is soon. Are you ready? Don’t be like those who were unwilling to receive Him, who didn’t want Him.

04 05 15 Luke 24.13-35 There are a lot of misconceptions today about the person of Jesus. Barna research shows some trends, especially among the younger adult generation that Jesus was just a man, he sinned, he was not God. Even with the claims of Scripture people are not able to recognize Him. But then, we read in this passage that even in Jesus’ day many did not recognize, even though He walked among them and even though they had for centuries clear evidence from the Scriptures. Who He is as recording in Scripture is essential to our salvation and the reason we celebrate Easter. He is alive! Do you know Him?
