Summary of Luke-Part 3

LET IT GLOW

Do you know what business your Heavenly Father has for you to do? Jesus found out.

You will recall the event which occurred whenever Jesus was 12 years old. He was strong in spirit, filled with wisdom, and grace of God was upon Him. (2:40) Mary and Joseph with Him had attended the Passover in Jerusalem and Jesus stayed behind. (2:43) After 3 days, Jesus was found in the Temple. 

Didn't you know that I must be in my Father's house? (2:49, NLT) 

King James says, about my Father's business. 

Jesus' Father is none other than God. His divine identity and divine purpose on earth His parents did not understand. He was in the Temple with the experts of the Jewish law. Those guys were amazed at Jesus' words. Of course, Jesus would know about the Law of Moses. He made it. Of course, He knew about the Jewish laws. He knows everything. It was another 11 years before Jesus' ministry began. 

Are we teaching our children the Word of God?

LET IT GROW

As a man, Jesus went to the Jordan River to be baptized by John the Baptist. the people were being baptized after their repentance of their sins. Jesus had no sin, but His baptism was to fulfill all righteousness. (Matt. 3:15)

That was when God proclaimed, Thou art My beloved Son: in thee I am well pleased. (3:22)

This marked the beginning of Jesus' ministry. It also pictured for Christ a pledge of His future death, burial, and resurrection for the sin of the world. (Liberty Bible Commentary)

Jesus was 30 years old whenever He began His public ministry, as were the Levitical priests when they began their service. He preached, performed miracles, and prophesied about the future. He showed love and compassion while standing against the religious leaders stuck on the law. He overcame the temptations of Satan. This Messiah fulfilled the Old Testament predictions of One to come.

How is your faith, dear one? How are you walking? 

God has a purpose and plan for each of us. (Adriane Rogers)

Are we busy about our Father's business?

LET IT GO

Turn your eyes upon Jesus. Look fully in His wonderful face. And the things of earth will grow strangely dim. In the light of His glory and grace.

Thank You, Father, for Your glorious grace!

To You be the glory forever.
