Luke 14: 1 – 24. A number of themes interweave through this passage but the most obvious is Jesus’ concern for the needy and vulnerable. The kingdom of God is good news for those who are side-lined, put down or ignored by those with power. How can we be bearers of hope for ‘the poor, […]
Luke 11: 1-28. Many of us are familiar with Jesus teaching his disciples the Lord’s Prayer and His parables about persistence. However, they’re worth looking at again, especially if we go on to see what Luke includes next. Jesus’ ministry challenges evil powers that hold people captive. So-called spiritual warfare is a dimension to prayer […]
Luke 9:57 to Luke 10:24. It’s easy enough to think we’re not like the would-be disciples in Luke 9:57-62 but how different are we? In the verses which follow, Jesus sends out seventy-two followers, telling them to rely on whatever hospitality they’re offered and do whatever good they can. This passage challenges us to examine […]
Luke 9:18-36. Peter has seen enough to be convinced that Jesus is Messiah, the Christ – even if he still can’t grasp why the Lord’s mission will involve suffering. His personal witness in verse 20 is magnified when he, together with James and John, sees Jesus glorified. Peter’s confession and the ‘Transfiguration’ are defining moments […]
Luke 6: 27 – 42 One of the reasons for looking at a Gospel is that we’re confronted by the challenging things Jesus said and did. His call to love our enemies, avoid condemning others and be honest about our own faults is pretty challenging. All too easily we gloss over teaching like this, relativize […]
Luke 4:31 to Luke 5:11 Teaching with integrity / authority, releasing people from evil powers, healing the sick, calling others to follow and imitate Him … these signs of hope are how Jesus proclaimed the Gospel. The Gospel is the good news of the kingdom of God and that Jesus Christ is Lord. We easily […]
Luke 4: 14 – 30. Jesus emerges from the desert experience ‘in the power of the Spirit’ with a clear sense of purpose. Sometimes referred to as the ‘Nazareth Manifesto’, He applies Isaiah’s hope-filled words of future promise to the here and now! Jesus’ hearers couldn’t accept this local boy’s claim and were deeply offended when […]
Luke 4: 1-13. Hebrews 4:15 reminds us Jesus was tempted in every way, just as we are – yet without sin. This story would probably have been on the writer’s mind. The devil aims his attack on Jesus’ sense of identity: ‘If you are the Son of God … etc.’ That self-knowledge had grown over […]
Luke 2: 39 – 52. On this Covenant Sunday we are looking at part of Jesus’ life that’s often overlooked – growing up. That He was a remarkable child is clear but we mustn’t forget He was also a real boy. Can we imagine Jesus playing with His friends in Nazareth and learning to wield […]
