Luke.17
1-10 Don’t cause anyone to live in less than the full reality of God. Correct your brother when he is wrong, but forgive, forgive, forgive (requires great faith). Don’t think you’re special for doing this - it’s your duty. Do justly, love mercy, walk humbly.
11-19 Give glory to God
20-37 The Second Coming
Like the days of Noah. Like the days of Lot.
One day old normal, then flash, it’s over.
Luke.18
1-8 Pray and don’t lose heart.
9-14 Danger of self-righteous attitude.
15-17 Must enter the kingdom as a child.
18-30 To inherit eternal life, one must forego ownership.
35-43 Cry out to God, even if others tell you to stop.
Luke.19
1-10 Zaccheus: Was he stuck on ownership?
8 - Half of possessions to the poor. Four times payback for any he defrauded.
9 - Salvation came to his house. From? His old ways.
11 - What was the misconception? [that the kingdom was going to appear immediately].
12-27 Why the parable? Explained that He was leaving people responsible, He will return, there will be an accounting.
28-44 Jesus enters Jerusalem
45-48 Drives out the moneychangers and teaches daily.
Luke.20
9-19 Another parable of poor stewardship.
27-40 Discussion on resurrection, no more death, no more marrying.
Luke.21
1-4 Widow’s copper coins. How can we give all? What does it look like?
5-24 Discussion of the future
13 - “...It will lead to an opportunity for your testimony...”
17 - “...and you will be hated by all because of My name...”
19 - “...By your endurance you will gain your lives...”
28 - “...But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near..."
36 - “...But keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man..."
Luke.22
3 - “...And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, belonging to the number of the twelve...” What does this mean? What does this look like?
The Last Supper.
39-46 Agony in the garden, Angel strengthened Him, Disciples slept.
47-71 Betrayal, Denial, Judged in the council chamber.
Luke.23
1-2 Accusations before Pilate:
- misleading the nation? Opinion.
- forbidding tax paying? Lie.
- calling Himself Christ? Truth.
6-12 Sent to Herod. Sent back to Pilate
13-25 Barabas, accused of insurrection and murder, was released instead of Jesus. Why? [the current normal is preferred over change]
Mob rule causes persistence in error.
The cross, the death, the burial.
Luke.24
The empty tomb.
Walking the road to Emmaus, opening scripture, opening eyes.
Appearing behind locked doors.
38 - “...And He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?...”
44 - “...Now He said to them, "These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled..."
45-49 Understanding scripture leads to ... Repentance!
John 1
The Word: In the beginning. With God. Was God. Creator. Life and Light.
10 - “... He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him...”
12 - “...But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,..”
Full of grace and truth.
35-51 Different twist on disciple selection. Starts with Andrew leaving John to follow Jesus.
John 2
11 - “...This beginning of His signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in Him...”
16 - “...and to those who were selling the doves He said, "Take these things away; stop making My Father's house a place of business..."
John 3
3 - “...Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God..." How can a person not see the kingdom? Can you show someone the kingdom?
19 - “...This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil...” True?
36 - “...He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him..." Belief=Obedience. Unbelief=Disobedience.
John 4
Jesus ministers to the woman at the well.
23,24 - “...But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth..." What does this mean.
John 5
Pool at Bethesda.
4 - “...for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool and stirred up the water; whoever then first, after the stirring up of the water, stepped in was made well from whatever disease with which he was afflicted...” Omitted in some manuscripts.
14 - “...Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you...” What does this imply? [sin and bad things related] Who said it?
19 - “...So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise...” Do we know what the Father is doing?
24 - “...Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life...”
28,29 Resurrection to life or judgment
44 - “...How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God...?”
John 6
5000 fed.
Calms the sea.
27 - “...Do not labor for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal...”
40 - “...For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day..."
44 - “...No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day...” How should we pray for unbelievers?
53 - “...So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves...”
63 - “...It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life...” Importance of the words of Jesus!
65 - “...And He was saying, "For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father..." Similar to 6:44.
66 - “...As a result of this many of His disciples withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore...” What caused many to withdraw? The narrow path - Father draws, Son justifies, words are spirit and life.
