Luke - Morning Worship Summaries
Luke's Gospel - Completed - as of 9/29/05:
1 chapter every morning. At the end of the message, I summarize the chapter in one brief remark. Below find those summary remarks for Luke’s gospel. The numbers refer to the chapters.
1. Jesus’ people are a family of faith, called to prepare for his coming through repentance.
2. How can we keep our head lower than such a King? We humble ourselves and are found in Him.
3. We are the people of the Son. What can men of power and position do to us? Put off fear of men, and of the day ahead.
4. Led by the Spirit of God, the Lord Jesus faces suffering and temptation and displays kingdom victory behind enemy lines.
5. Jesus is calling a community of faith, cleansing, healing, restoring, and forgiving sinners who will follow Him. This is something new and powerful and good.
6. The incomparable blessedness of our eternal destiny (through Christ) makes all the difference in how we are empowered to live now.
7. The community of faith has been forgiven much, so we shall love much. Our hope is not in our worthiness, but in the Word, who brings life to the elect.
8. Jesus calls us to a life that comes from His own divine power. We shall believe His word and be much more than we can be. There is something here that is much more than natural determinism.
9. This is a new kingdom that is not of this world. It is a kingdom of power, salvation, and glory. Yet it is also a kingdom of faith and humble service. We do not fully understand it, yet we are used in it.
10. What is the good portion for us? the Word of the Lord, the life of Christ-like mercy, and the truth that our name is written in heaven
11. Let us ask, seek, and knock with much prayer, that the Father and the Son would send forth the Spirit, and that we might hear the Word of God and keep it.
12. There is much good news and encouragement from God for those who love the Lord and who hope in the kingdom of heaven.
13. Jesus has made Himself the one door to life for us. He will perish in Jerusalem, that the new "Jerusalem" will repent and live.
14. The kingdom of life moves forward. We who have ears to hear the word of the Lord follow Him in viewing the kingdom rightly.
15. We are the children of a God who seeks and saves the lost.
16. Moses and the prophets tell us a story of the mercy of the Lord for us that goes beyond law. This mercy is known in our New Covenant relationship.
17. The life of the kingdom is in some ways quite different from the life of the world. The servants of the kingdom will suffer many things, but will keep their lives even though they lose them.
18. Faith in the mercy of God through His appointed substitute, the suffering Son of David, is the only way of life.
19. The one who grants eternal salvation to all who repent and believe is on the road to a most unusual and costly triumph.
20. The humble poor will hear the word and believe, but the proud will perish.
21. It is those who believe what the Lord says about this generation and age and who hope in the age to come who give the Lord all that they have.
22. The kingdom is inaugurated. A stone is laid in Zion, but many will stumble.
23. This is not over. This is the end of the humiliation of Christ. His exaltation will never end.
24. Here is eternal VICTORY for the companions of the Lord in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is amazing to see the Lord who was resting in the grave in the last chapter now calmly ruling in perfect accord with the Scriptures as the ascended Lord of the church.
