Luke 24:36-49- Jesus’ resurrection 1 Hope: That these six stories will inspire you to consider the love that Jesus offers. To see in the loving actions of Jesus the love of God, a God who offers, forgiveness, healing, hope and restoration. This is our hope at St Marys because it is Jesus’ promise to all who come and ask for his loving help. Journey: Each we’ll journey through a story of hope where Jesus interacts with people who come to see in him the very hope and love they had always longed for. Each week there will be a chance to share about our lives, hear from God’s word, see the vision God has for your life and set goals which come directly from God’s word. Each week we’ll also ask the same basic questions of each story to grasp the simple and powerful message Jesus offers. Thank you for embarking on this journey with Jesus, Story of Hope: The Paralyzed Man 1.

Does anyone have a spiritual story about their life they wish to share? __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ Luke 5:17-26 17 One day Jesus was teaching, and Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. They had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with Jesus to heal the sick. 18 Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus. 19 When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus. 20 When Jesus saw their faith, he said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven." 21 The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, "Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?" 2 22 Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, "Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? 23 Which is easier: to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'? 24 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins." So he said to the paralyzed man, "I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home." 25 Immediately he stood up in front of them, took what he had been lying on and went home praising God. 26 Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, "We have seen remarkable things today." 1.

Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them. 39 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is-- that she is a sinner." 40 Jesus answered him, "Simon, I have something to tell you." "Tell me, teacher," he said. 41 "Two people owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. 42 Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he forgave the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?" 43 Simon replied, "I suppose the one who had the bigger debt forgiven." "You have judged correctly," Jesus said. 44 Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. 47 Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven-- as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little." 48 Then Jesus said to her, "Your sins are forgiven." 49 The other guests began to say among themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?" 50 Jesus said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace." 1.

So he divided his property between them. 13 "Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything. 17 "When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.' 20 So he got up and went to his father. "But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. 21 "The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.' 22 "But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate. 25 "Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27 'Your brother has come,' he replied, 'and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.' 28 "The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 6 29 But he answered his father, 'Look! All these years I've been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.

    Making Disciples that Delight in the Supremacy of Jesus Christ COMMUNITY GROUP STUDY GUIDE The Lord & His Lieutenants LUKE 6:1-19 OVERVIEW Luke is the longest and most comprehensive of the four Gospels, presenting Jesus as the Perfect Man who came to save sinful men. Growing belief and growing opposition develop side by side. Those who believe his claims are challenged to count the cost of discipleship; those who oppose him will not be satisfied until the Son of Man hangs lifeless on a cross. But the resurrection ensures that his ministry of seeking and saving the lost will continue through his disciples once they have been equipped with the indwelling Holy Spirit. Luke reveals that Jesus is the King, and he has come to inaugurate his Kingdom. (Adapted from Talk Through the Bible). APPLY // LUKE 5:17-39 1. Read Luke 5:17-39. 2.

  • Luke 4–5 Notes (PDF)
    Quaker Universalist Voice Luke 4–5: The Poor and the Desert in Luke by J.M. Spears We have chosen two Biblical words, or themes, for further reflection: the “poor” and the “desert”. To understand how these words are used by the author Luke, we need to look back at their usage in the Hebrew Bible from which Jesus and Luke drew their messages. The Poor: Many different words are used in the Hebrew Bible, which are translated into English as “the poor.” One Hebrew word, anawim, is uses to mean the “afflicted”, “the bowed down,” and “those who are oppressed by the rich and powerful.” (See examples in Isaiah 3:24 and Amos 2:7) Another Hebrew word is dal, which means the “weak” and “needy.” (See examples in Leviticus 19:15 and Jeremiah 5:4.) Other Hebrew words include ebyuown- or “want” or “destitute” (See Exodus 23:6, Job 29:16 and Psalms 49:2), muwk or “to make thin” or “impoverished” (See Leviticus 25:25) and ruwsh or “to be destitute” (See Proverbs 10:4). The poor were the people who were pushed to the edge of society and left in social lowliness and economic distress. They were forced to seek the help of others by begging. Beggars were considered outside of society and were treated as having lesser value than those inside society. The poor were viewed differently in different periods of Israel’s history. When the tribes of Israel were nomads, there was no sharp or rigid distinction between rich people and poor people. The range of wealth was narrow.

  • Luke 5 Jesus Calls His First Disciples (Matthew 4:18-22; Matthew 13:47
    Luke 5 Jesus Calls His First Disciples (Matthew 4:18-22; Matthew 13:47-52; Mark 1:16-20; John 1:35-42) 1And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, Quote from IraelJerusalm.com “The Lake of Gennesaret is named after the ancient town of Gennesaret, also called "Ginosar," on its northwestern shore. While it is a lake and not a sea, the Lake of Gennesaret is also called the Sea of Galilee, as well as the Sea of Tiberias, after the resort city of Tiberias that Herod the Great built on its western shore and named after Caesar Tiberias to endear himself to his Roman overlord.” The Jordan river flows through this lake and still today supplies fresh water to parts of Israel and the nation of Jordan. As soon as people heard that Jesus was nearby they immediately came to hear Him. They would press in close so as to hear what He was saying, so it was hard for large groups to hear Him. 2And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. At least one of this small fishing boats belonged to Symon Peter. As a bit of history, Jesus knew most if not all of those who would become His apostles from childhood. John the Baptist was 1 Jesus’s cousin and they were all from the same general area, so knowing them all was certainly not beyond reason.

  • Luke 5:17-26 Warren W. Wiersbe Jesus Returned to Capernaum
    Luke 5:17-26 Warren W. Wiersbe Jesus returned to Capernaum, possibly to Peter’s house, and the crowd gathered to see Him heal and to hear Him teach. But a new element was added: Some of the official religious leaders from Jerusalem were present to investigate what He was doing. They had every right to do this since it was the responsibility of the elders to prevent false prophets from leading the people astray (Deut. 13; 18:15–22). They had interrogated John the Baptist (John 1:19–34), and now they would examine Jesus of Nazareth. Since this is the first time the scribes and Pharisees are mentioned in Luke’s gospel, it would be good for us to get acquainted with them. The word Pharisee comes from a Hebrew word that means “to divide, to separate.” The scribes and Pharisees probably developed out of the ministry of Ezra, the priest, who taught the Jewish people to obey the law of Moses and be separate from the heathen nations around them (Ezra 9—10; Neh. 8—9). The great desire of the scribes and Pharisees was to understand and magnify God’s law and apply it in their daily lives. However, the movement soon became quite legalistic, and its leaders laid so many burdens on the people that it was impossible to “serve the Lord with gladness” (Ps. 100:2). Furthermore, many of the Pharisees were hypocrites and did not practice what they preached (see Matt. 15:1–20; 23:1–36). In the Sermon on the Mount (Matt.

  • Finding New Purpose
    1 FINDING NEW PURPOSE Bible Passage: Luke 4:42-5:11 Key Verse: Luke 5:11 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE LESSON: • The Theme of this lesson is that Jesus gives us a new purpose in life. • The Life Question that this lesson asks is: How can I find new purpose in my life? • The Biblical Truth declares that Jesus’ followers are called to tell the good news of God’s kingdom. • The Life Impact is to help you find renewed purpose in telling others about God’s kingdom. Finding God’s Purpose Many people wander aimlessly through life. They wake up, eat breakfast, get dressed and drive through rush hour to work and punch in. They work about eight hours with a one hour lunch break. They clock out and fight traffic back home. They eat dinner, watch TV for a couple of hours, and go to bed. Then, they start the same routine again the next day. Most people never feel the vitality and excitement of waking up each day with a purpose for living. Do you want to wake up and face each new day with a dynamic purpose? God is calling all of his followers to just this sort of life. Believers are to wake up each day energized with the purpose of reaching people for the kingdom of God. Word Study: Master The Greek word for Master is epistates, and it occurs 6 times in the New Testament. All occurrences are in Luke (5:5; 8:24; 8:45; 9:33; 9:49; 17:13). Every time the word describes Jesus.

  • The Magnificat Luke 1:39-56 This Is a Marvelous Song, the First Song of The
    The Magnificat Luke 1:39-56 This is a marvelous song, the first song of the incarnation, from Mary. • The lyrical depth is very edifying. • At IDC, we like songs that have rich theological content (except when dancing!) • We try to avoid the type of songs that Mike Bird says go a bit like this: “Jesus, Jesus, you’re terrific // For you I’d swim the Pacific // Yeah baby, yeah baby, yeah, yeah, yeah.” Only, they’re not that deep! • While a lot of Xmas songs are very rich, others are often very sentimental, and lullaby- sounding. • But Mary’s song blends God-centered theology with beautiful, artistic poetry. If you’re not a Christian, this is a wonderful passage for anyone interested in the Christian faith. One pastor calls this “Mary on the Christian Life.” • She alludes to many important themes of the Christian life in her song. • Luke itself is a good book to study (1:3). He’s a careful researcher/historian. If you’re a teenager, you have a wonderful example in Mary to follow. • Of course, Mary is a great model for any Christian, but esp. for teenagers!! • Prefer Mary over Miley a role model! • Teenagers struggle w/ basic heart questions like: • “Does anyone care about me?” Does anyone see me?” • “Will anything satisfy my soul?” “What’s my purpose in life?” • Young person, Mary gives you answers. • She knows that God cares for her and sees her! • “He has looked upon the humble estate of his servant” • She’s a teenager who has found satisfaction – in God! • “God fills the hungry with good things.” • She’s a teenager that has found purpose! • Westminster: “The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy him forever.” • She’s expressing that purpose in this little song - magnify/rejoice.

  • The Beatitudes and Woes of Jesus Christ for the Slow
    THE BEATITUDES AND WOES OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE SLOW SAVOURING OF SERIOUS DISCIPLES by Father Joseph R. Jacobson To the Chinese Christians of our own time who along with survivors of the gulag and the jihad are giving the whole Church a fresh vision of what it means to be called “disciples of Jesus” INTRODUCTORY COMMENTS The Beatitudes and Woes of Jesus Christ are stark. Much of our teaching and preaching based on them is not. Jesus sets them out as ground rules for His disciples. He places them at the very beginning of His special instructions to them, whereas entire theological systems have treated them as an afterthought and relegated them to the end. The problem is that in Jesus’ instructions the Beatitudes are descriptive, not prescriptive. That is, they tell us what discipleship is, not what it ought to be. They spell out the everyday norms of discipleship, not its far off ideals, the bottom line, not the distant goal. This makes us most uncomfortable because, fitting us so poorly they call into question our very right to claim to be disciples of Jesus at all. There can be no question that they are addressed specifically to Jesus’ disciples, both the Beatitudes and the Woes. Matthew makes that plain in his way (Matthew 5:1-2) and Luke makes it plain in his way (Luke 6:20). The fact that Jesus singles them out from the crowds which are all around them, pressing in on them with their own expectations and demands, simply underscores the urgency Jesus felt to clarify what He was expecting of them by way of sheer contrast.

  • Blessed Are the Poor in (Holy) Spirit”? (Matthew 5:3) ROBERT H
    Word & World Volume XVIII, Number 4 Fall 1998 “Blessed Are the Poor in (Holy) Spirit”? (Matthew 5:3) ROBERT H. SMITH Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary Berkeley, California WOULD LOVE TO SPEAK THE LAST WORD ON THE FIRST BEATITUDE. THATS JUST ONE Iof my many vanities, and it may pit me squarely against the beatitude itself. In any case, the first of the beatitudes in Matthew’s Gospel continues to trouble me. Certainly the usual interpretations leave me unsatisfied. Jesus says, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens” (Matt 5:3). We all know that Luke reports the saying more simply, “Blessed are you poor!” (Luke 6:20). What is the force of those two little words “in spirit” in Matthew’s version of the saying? I. THE USUAL INTERPRETATION: THE PIOUS POOR IN BIBLICAL TRADITION The prevailing interpretation is that “poor in spirit” means those who are not proud or haughty but are, on the contrary, humble and trusting in God. This inter- pretation is usually bolstered by references to Hebrew texts (especially Isaiah 61 and a series of passages among the Dead Sea Scrolls) which sing the praises of the anawim, those people in Israel who were poor but pious. The letter of James repre- ROBERT H. SMITH is a professor of New Testament whose work these days focuses on Matthew and Revelation when he is not occupied with introducing students to biblical Greek. The first beatitude can be translated, “Blessed are those who lack powerful charis- matic gifts.” Matthew challenges those who are rich in ecstatic utterance, miracle, and exorcism but poor in righteousness and mercy.

  • Origen's Interpretation of Luke 1:35: “The Power of the Most High Will
    Emmanuel Hirschauer Notre-Dame de Vie Institute Philippines ORIGEN’S INTERPRETATION OF LUKE 1:35: “THE POWER OF THE MOST HIGH WILL OVERSHADOW YOU” Introduction Origen has been considered a Marian doctor by the Latin 12th cen- tury.1 According to him, Mary is the type, the model of the spiritual, the “pneumatic.” The words of the Archangel Gabriel to Mary, answer- ing her question on how the conception of Jesus might occur, oě er a key passage to enter Origen’s Mariology: “The angel said to her, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called the Son of God’” (Lk 1:35). We will focus on these words: “The power of the Most High will overshadow you.” According to Origen what is this “power”? What does its “overshadowing” Mary mean? Our method will consist in reading the most signię cant passages where Lk 1:35 is quoted and in- terpreted by Origen. We will start with the Homilies on Saint Luke and then, following in chronological order, we will open the Peri Archon, the Commentary and Homilies on the Song of Songs and the Homilies on Joshua. 1. Homilies on Luke Let us ę rst listen to the third-century teacher as he comments in his Homilies on Luke. Actually the only homilies on the New Testa- ment which we have from Origen are the 39 homilies on Luke which survived in Jerome’s Latin translation. This translation is remarkably faithful.2 Origen also wrote a Commentary on Luke in ę ve books, which (1) Cf.

  • Week Four: Jesus and a Paralyzed Man (Luke 5:17-26)
    Week Four: Jesus and a Paralyzed Man (Luke 5:17-26) OPENING DISCUSSION Today’s lesson will be focused on the story of Jesus’s interactions with a paralyzed man and the surprisingly spiritual responses He gives to what was intended to be a search for physical healing. Among many other things to be gleaned from this passage, we can probably relate to the idea of a disconnect between what we want and what we need. To begin, let’s read the lyrics of these songs over the generations that reflect on this disparity. “When you try your best, but you don't succeed When you get what you want, but not what you need When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep Stuck in reverse” --Coldplay, “Fix You” “I have climbed highest mountains I have run through fields Only to be with you Only to be with you I have run, I have crawled I have scaled the city walls Said it was Only to be with you But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for” --U2, “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” “I got money Everything that I ever wanted Never thought of what I might need, Need, need Ain't it funny, How I spend my whole life running Reaching for the sky high and coming down with nothing” --Chris Brown, “4 Years Old” OBSERVATION Give everyone 3 or 4 minutes to jot down responses to some basic observation questions.
