Luke 6-Part 4

LET IT GLOW

What are you seeking? Are you looking for some hope? Is joy lacking in your life? Where do you find it all? Find out today.

He healed them all, all who came to Jesus. Jesus and His disciples came down from the mountain to minister to those in need. He had followers by this time, hundreds, if not thousands. Luke calls them disciples or devoted learners. 

What were their needs which Jesus met?

• Hear Him, for Jesus' teachings were different from the Pharisees' teachings, which were rules and laws and laws and rules to obey overwhelmingly. (verse 17)
• The people came to be healed of their diseases. 
• They were vexed (to mob; to harass) with unclean spirits. (verse 18) Jesus healed them or delivered the people with demon possession.
• The whole multitude sought to touch Jesus because virtue (miraculous power) went out of Him (verse 19)

Don't you wish you could have been there to watch Jesus healing those folks? and to be able to touch the Son of God, what a privilege they had, much less to be delivered from a disease or demons. I am sure the disciples knew Jesus was not just an ordinary man. 

What do you believe about Jesus? Is He just an ordinary man to you in an ordinary book? Or is your faith put in Jesus as the Savior, King, Son of the Living God? What about those around you?

LET IT GROW

Jesus taught about the 4 blessings and 4 curses which weigh the cost and benefits of discipleship. It is known as The Sermon on the Mount. (Matthew 5) These teachings happiness, the kind that neither depends upon earthly fortunes nor falters before temporal hardships. A "blessed" person possesses what we would call "joy."

Join us next time for that list. I think we all could use some joy in our life, right? Until then, seek grace and mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ.

LET IT GO

Help us, Jesus, to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteous.
