Luke 24:13-35 Long Form Now That Very Day
Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer and so enter into his glory? Luke 24:13-35 Long form Now that very day the first day of the week two of the disciples were going to a village seven miles from Jerusalem called Emmaus, and they were conversing about all the things that had occurred. And it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus himself drew near and walked with them, but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him. He asked them, "What are you discussing as you walk along?" They stopped, looking downcast. One of them, named Cleopas, said to him in reply, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know of the things that have taken place there in these days?" and he replied to them, "What sort of things?" They said to him, " The things that happened to Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, how our chief priests and rulers both handed him over to a sentence of death and crucified him. But we were hoping that he would be the one to redeem Israel; and besides, all this, it is now the third day since this took place. Some women from our group, however, have astounded us: they were at the tomb early in the morning and did not find his body; they came back and reported that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who announced that he was alive. Then some of those with us went to the tomb and found things just as the women had described, but him they did not see." And he said to them, "Oh, how foolish you are! How slow of heart to believe all that the prophets spoke! Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and enter into his glory?" Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them what referred to him in all the scriptures. -

The Nativity According to Luke: an Original Work of Art
The Nativity According to Luke: An original work of art By Ben Witherington III The Christmas portions of the gospel are, perhaps, the most beloved, and the most belabored, texts in the New Testament. Like works of art that have been lacquered with coat after coat of varnish, the original stories are hardly visible any more. Today, it is difficult to conceive the Nativity without an ox and ass, for example, although neither Matthew nor Luke mentions animals. (Rather, St. Francis, the great medieval lover of animals, is credited with building the first manger scene complete with live animals.) The three wise men are also permanent fixtures in our image of the Nativity, although they don’t arrive, according to Matthew 2, until several days after the birth of Jesus (the epiphany to the shepherds does, however, take place the same day). Perhaps revisiting the story from a historian’s point of view may remove some of these mistaken impressions, these layers of lacquer, and let us see the masterpiece in its brilliant original colors. Part of the problem today is that we tend to conflate Matthew’s and Luke’s accounts into one Nativity story. To counter this, in this column we will confine ourselves to a few verses from Luke. At the time of the birth, Joseph and Mary are in Bethlehem, Joseph’s ancestral home, where the couple has traveled, according to Luke 2:1–5, to participate in a census. As Luke 2:5 states clearly, Joseph and Mary are engaged, and Mary is pregnant. Engagement in early Judaism was as binding as modern marriage is today. -
Patience and Power Luke 24:44-53; Acts 1:1-11 May 28, 2017 – Seventh Sunday of Easter
Patience and Power Luke 24:44-53; Acts 1:1-11 May 28, 2017 – Seventh Sunday of Easter Last Thursday was Ascension Day, forty days after Easter. the day that Luke tells us the risen Christ ascended to heaven. Our United Methodist Tradition does not celebrate the Ascension in a major way. But the Ascension of Jesus to heaven is hugely important. First, it’s important for theological reasons. The Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit was not created on the first Christmas. No, those three persons, what I’ll call the three natures of God always existed and always will exist. The first verses of John’s Gospel confirm – “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. and the Word became flesh and dwelled among us.” Indeed the Word, that is Jesus Christ always existed and always will exist. Neither was the Holy Spirit created at Pentecost; and I’ll say a lot more about that next week; but, today I’ll simply note that the first verses of Genesis confirm – “In the Beginning when God created heaven and earth. the Spirit of God moved across the face of the waters.” Indeed the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit always existed. But back to Christ… Christ, the Son, always existed, at one with God. On the first Christmas, twenty-one hundred years ago, Christ, the Word, became flesh and blood, that we might have an ever closer relationship with the divine. So, theologically, the Ascension is important; because, as Jesus states repeatedly, most especially in the Gospel of John, it is necessary for him to return to the father, it is necessary for him to return to his oneness with God. -
The Luke 10 Manual by Steve & Marilyn Hill
1 The Luke 10 Manual by Steve & Marilyn Hill THE LUKE 10 MANUAL MISSION AS MANDATED AND MODELED BY JESUS STEVE AND MARILYN HILL Jesus was the smartest and best leader who ever walked on the planet. Why do we think we have a better way? 2 The Luke 10 Manual by Steve & Marilyn Hill A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS For over a decade I've been chronicling the global advance of God's Kingdom . And it's true - the book of Acts is still happening today! But it's often not on shiny church platforms, well- marketed Christian conferences or touristic revival trips. The Kingdom is happening where ordinary Jesus followers pray and move out of their comfort zone, go to unlikely places (but it could be next door), serve, share Jesus with others, meet, eat, disciple and multiply. This is the dynamic we read about in Luke 10 and the book of Acts. This is how the early church started and reached the Ancient world. This is how the Kingdom is still advancing today. Steve Hill has been a friend and companion for many years. He and Marilyn have invested themselves in 'people of peace' and simple church groups across North America, Europe and Central Asia. What he shares in this book is no theory, it's experience. Marc van der Woude publisher joelnews.org and teamleader simplechuch.eu It was so refreshing to read The Luke 10 Manual by Steve Hill. He brings much needed correction and adjustment to many beliefs and practices that are prevalent in “charismatic/apostolic/prophetic” circles. -
Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus Christ Luke 24
Lesson 59 Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus Christ Luke 24 “Believe in the Son of God, that he will come to redeem his people, and that he shall suffer and die to atone for their sins; and that he shall rise again from the dead, which shall bring to pass the resurrection, that all men shall stand before him, to be judged at the last and judgment day” (Alma 33:22). “He is Not Here” After the day of the Sabbath when Mary Magdalene and other women came to the Savior’s tomb on Sunday morning, they found the body of Jesus gone. Two heavenly messengers reminded them that Jesus had spoken to them about his death and Resurrection while they were in Galilee. At that time He had testified, “The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again” Luke 24:1-7; Matthew 17:22-23 (1) “Go Quickly” “…tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him; lo, I have told you. Matthew 28:7 Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, and told the things to the disciples Luke 24:9-10 (1) Mary Magdalene Mary Magdalene seems to have served in a leadership capacity and had a prominent role in serving the Savior and a close association with Him. She is mentioned first in several listings of female followers . -
Luke 23–24 Translation (PDF)
Quaker Universalist Voice Luke 23–24: Jesus’ Death Translated for Children by J.M. Spears Luke 23 1. And, the whole group got up and took Jesus to Pilate. 2. They started accusing Jesus, “We found this person misleading our people. He was urging them not to pay taxes to Caesar*. He was saying he is chosen by God to be a king.” 3. Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you king of the Jews?” Jesus answered, “You are the one who says so.” 4. Pilate spoke to the religious leaders and the crowds, “I find this person not guilty.” 5. “But, Jesus has been stirring up the people all over Judea. Jesus has been teaching everywhere, from Galilee even up to here.” they insisted. 6. When Pilate heard this, he asked, “Is this person from Galilee?” 7. So. Pilate learned that Jesus as from the state where Herod had power. Then Pilate sent Jesus to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during these days. 8. Herod was very glad to see Jesus. For a long time, Herod had wanted to see Jesus. Herod had heard about Jesus and was hoping to see a powerful act done by Jesus. 9. Herod asked Jesus many questions. But, Jesus did not answer Herod. 10. The religious leaders and teachers of the law stood up and fiercely accused Jesus. 11. Then, even Herod and his soldiers were making fun of Jesus and being mean to him. Herod put a bright robe on Jesus and sent Jesus back to Pilate. 12. Herod and Pilate became close friends that very day. -
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. -
Anti-Christ Revealed!
ANTI‐CHRIST REVEALED! FROM WWW.SATANASBARACKOBAMA.COM THE BASICS Luke 10:18 includes Jesus, Satan, and Barack Jesus is the Speaker Satan is the direct object of Jesus’s statement Barack is described as being Satan WHO ON EARTH WOULD NOT THINK THAT THIS VERSE DESERVES SOME ATTENTION! • Should we not “thoroughly” investigate this verse with full scholarly attention? • Should this not be a topic of information and debate for all Bible believing peoples? • Should we not make every effort to explain the implications of Jesus statement to non‐believers? • Has God provided a “message” for us that will bring about an end times revival to save the lost? • Should we not proclaim the end times meaning of this “coincidence” whereby Jesus Himself uttered the name of the most powerful man in today’s world, Barack Obama, as being linked to Satan? • Is this not the most important message for our “end” times? Luke Chapter 10 reports: Jesus says to the 70 disciples returning from ministry: “I beheld Satan as Barack …….. falling.” (verse 18) After which Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said: “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.” (verse 21) Luke Chapter 10 continues: Then He turned to His disciples and said privately: “Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see, for I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear and have not heard it.” (verse 24) Obviously, Jesus has had a mystery revealed to him which the wise and prudent will fail to hear! Did Jesus have a vision of the future Anti‐Christ (Barack Obama) being cast into hell? And the beast [Anti‐Christ] was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image; these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire……. -
The Beatitudes Lesson 5 “Blessed Are the Merciful”
"Scripture taken from the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE®, © Copyright 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation Used by permission." (www.Lockman.org) The Beatitudes Lesson 5 “Blessed Are The Merciful” Introduction. 1. As with all the beatitudes, the fifth beatitude is most important to true and lasting happiness. 2. It logically follows the previous four beatitudes. a. The first beatitude stressed one must recognize his spiritual destitution, and his own righteousness cannot save. 1) Good works, wealth, power, education, fame, reputation, etc. cannot save. 2) None of these things can atone for sin. 3) Only the blood of Jesus can cleanse one from sin. b. The second beatitude sets forth that one should mourn over his wretched state, and if this sorrow is godly sorrow it will end with comfort. 1) Boasting about sin or rationalizing [as not so bad] or denying sin will not save. 2) It is not enough even to regret sin and be sorrowful over sin. (2 Cor. 7:10) 2 Cor 7:10 For the sorrow that is according to {the will} {of} God produces a repentance without regret, {leading} to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death. 3) One must have godly sorrow, a realization he/she has sinned against God. 4) This godly sorrow must lead to repentance. (2 Cor. 7:10). c. The third beatitude reads, “Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.” (Matt. 5:5). 1) It stresses this mourning [godly sorrow] will lead one to be humbly submissive to God and to be gentle to others. -
Blessed Are the Pure in Heart Philippians 4:4-9, Luke 10:38-42
Blessed are the Pure in Heart Philippians 4:4-9, Luke 10:38-42, Matthew 5:8 Have you ever paid attention to the wacky label contests. Each year various labels that are put on products that give instructions about their use. They are called wacky labels because you wouldn’t believe what some manufacturers’ put on their merchandise. Here are a few examples: On a hair dryer: Do not use while sleeping. On a child’s stroller: Remove child before folding. On a coffee pot: Do not hold over people, On a package with a fishing lure with a 3 pronged hook: Harmful if swallowed. On a carpenter’s electric drill: Not for use as a dental drill. And one of my favorites: On a t-shirt: Do not iron while wearing. Well, you would think these are unnecessary instructions and warnings but I guess in such a litigious society you can’t say you haven’t been forewarned. We have been looking at the instructions and directions for living given in the
