The Gospel Project: Unit 21, Session 2
Jesus Reveals His Mission. Luke 4
Point 2: Jesus Predicts He would be Rejected like the Prophets. Luke 4:23-27
Jesus just finished telling them that the Spirit of the Lord was on him,
-that He is anointed
-He is preaching the gospel
-healing
-proclaiming liberty
-reovering the sight of the blind
-giving liberty to those oppressed, to captives..
Quoting Isaiah they understood He was demonstrating that He fulfills Scripture. Then He says, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."
Elijah-rejected by his people-took salvation to a gentile woman during famine.
Elisha-rejected by his people-took healing to a gentile man, Naaman, the leper.
What was Jesus telling His fellow citizens?
Has my house, my city, my state, my country Rejected Chrst?
Today's Hymn:
One way to know that you are God's, He will pursue you! He gets into my dreams, for me anyway, is to wake up singing a hymn. Today it was Jesus is Calling..O' sinner come home. The Holy Spirit can always touch my heart, He can easily Correct me through song. So I arose, kneeled, confessed, repented, released myself to God.
When I get "too busy" for The Word, etc He finds me. What an AWESOME FATHER!
