  • “The Narrow Door” Luke 13:22-30 by David A. Ritchie Sunday, March 17
    LUKE Part 55: “The Narrow Door” Luke 13:22-30 By David A. Ritchie Sunday, March 17, 2019 (The Second Sunday of Lent) Scripture Reading 22 He went on his way through towns and villages, teaching and journeying toward Jerusalem. 23 And someone said to him, “Lord, will those who are saved be few?” And he said to them, 24 “Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. 25 When once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us,’ then he will answer you, ‘I do not know where you come from.’ 26 Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ 27 But he will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of evil!’ 28 In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves cast out. 29 And people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and recline at table in the kingdom of God. 30 And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.” 1 Almighty and Everlasting God, as we open your Holy Word today, may your Spirit give us eyes to see your kingdom anew.

  • Luke Lesson 12-2Lp
    Jesus Magnified Luke 13 Lesson 12 FIRST DAY: Read Luke 13 Jesus is always correcting our perspective on life. Too often we are unaware of the prejudices, pre-conceived notions, and cultural pressures that are influencing our viewpoints. In biblical times, tragedy and suffering were seen as the just recompense to those who were afflicted. People assumed that those injured somehow deserved what they received because of their overt or covert behavior. In Luke 13 Jesus dispelled these misconceptions and pointed out that bad things happen to the deserving and undeserving alike. Jesus alone makes the difference in life! Only He has the power to deliver from evil, turn tragedy to triumph, and provide an entrance into the kingdom of God. Jesus longed to provide this to Jerusalem, but they were continually unwilling. Today Jesus offers this same deliverance, triumph, and protection to anyone who is willing to receive Him. Ask God to free you from any misconceptions and help you to willingly find refuge under His wings (Luke 13:34). SECOND DAY: Read Luke 13:1–9 1. According to Luke 13:1 (NLT), About this time Jesus was informed that Pilate had murdered some people from Galilee as they were offering sacrifices at the Temple. Jesus used this incident as an opportunity to make an important point. Use Luke 13:2–5 to answer the following: a. What rhetorical questions did Jesus pose concerning: (1) The Galileans (verse 2) (2) The eighteen at the tower in Siloam (verse 4) b. Repentance means to turn from your sins to God.

  • The Social World of Luke-Acts 1
    RLNT770: History of NT Interpretation II The Social World of Luke-Acts 1 The Social World of Luke-Acts: Models for Interpretation, ed. Jerome H. Neyrey Annotated Outline by Elizabeth Shively for RLNT770 PREFACE Jerome H. Neyrey 1.0 Authors-Collaborators • This book results from the 1986 decision of a group of historical-critical scholars to apply social sciences to the biblical text. • They took a “systems approach” that seeks to understand a larger framework, i.e., the culture of those who produced the text. 2.0 Luke-Acts • Luke-Acts is good for the application of social sciences because of its concern with social aspects of the gospel, its geographical and chronological scope, and because of its universal issues. • The models applied to Luke-Acts can be applied to other NT documents. 3.0 A Different Kind of Book • The aim of the book is to decipher the meaning of Luke-Acts in and through the 1st c. Mediterranean social context, and to understand how this context shaped the author’s perspective, message and writing. • To do this, one must recognize the cultural distance between original and present readers; and read the text through a foreign model of the way the world works. • This book is meant to be a handbook of “basic social scientific perspectives” (xi) for historical-critical study. 4.0 Social Sciences and Historical Criticism • Rather than taking a purely historical approach, this book investigates the social and cultural patterns that shaped those who heard or read Luke-Acts. • Whereas history looks for a linear storyline, social science looks for typical repeated social patterns in specific times and places in order to find particular and distinctive perception and behavior.

  • Luke Lesson 13-2
    Jesus Magnified Luke 14 and 15 Lesson 13 FIRST DAY: Read Luke 14 and 15 There is so much to learn from Jesus! He teaches us many things by His example, His instructions, and by His parables. It is only through Jesus that we can understand and embrace the way we are to live. Luke 14 began with Jesus in the house of a Pharisee. It would seem that this Pharisee had invited Jesus in order to entrap Him. However, Jesus was neither entrapped nor moved by this man’s untoward motives. Rather, Jesus used the occasion to minister healing and teach those present about humility and the cost of discipleship. In Luke 15, Jesus used a series of parables to illustrate the compassionate heart of God toward lost sinners. Pay close attention this week to Jesus’ example, instruction, and parables so that you may learn how you are to live as His disciple. Ask God to move you to a deeper appreciation and awareness of the compassion and wisdom of Jesus. SECOND DAY: Read Luke 14:1–14 1. According to Luke 14:1a, Jesus went to eat on the Sabbath at the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees. From Luke 14:1b remark on their behavior toward Jesus. 2. While Jesus was at the Pharisee’s house, a man with dropsy came to Him. Jesus asked the Pharisees, Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath? (Luke 14:2–3). From Luke 14:4 note and comment on: a. What they did b. What Jesus did 3.

    GOSPEL FILM CLUB THE GOSPEL OF LUKE LESSON 8 Watch: LUKE 13 - LUKE 13 (7 min).mp4 • 13:1-9 Repent or Perish Not really understanding the significance of Jesus’ words, there were some present at that time who raised an issue about a contemporary “breaking news” incident involving Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. (13:1) These self-righteous Jews, like Job’s friend Eliphaz (JOB 4:7; 22:5), assumed that God brought calamities like this upon those who were extremely sinful. Jesus disagrees (13:5) referencing a recent construction accident where 18 Jewish workers were killed while working on a Roman aqueduct in Siloam. He said they were no more guilty of sin than all the others living in Jerusalem. (13:4) Then He repeats the warning he gave in 13:3: But unless you repent, you too will all perish. (13:5) PERISH … when Jerusalem gets destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD and PERISH for all eternity because they did not accept Jesus as their Messiah and personal Savior from sin. Jewish farmers knew it took 3 years for fig trees to bear fruit. (13:6) When this doesn’t happen to the tree in Jesus’ parable, the owner said, Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil? (13:7) Even though he did agree to give the tree one more year to bear fruit … based on His comment then cut it down (13:9), it doesn’t appear Jesus was optimistic that many were going to repent. This was especially true in light of: • the narrow door answer He gives to the question, Lord, are only a few people going to be saved? (13:24) Time was clearly running out for the Jews of Jesus’ day based on Jesus’ reply: Many … will try to enter and will not be able to.

  • Homily for the 10Th Sunday of Luke: Luke 13:10-17 Father Filip Lommaert Sunday, December 9, 2018
    1 Homily for the 10th Sunday of Luke: Luke 13:10-17 Father Filip Lommaert Sunday, December 9, 2018 In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, one God. Amen Today on the 10th Sunday of Luke, we heard the parable of our Lord Jesus Christ and the woman who was bent over and could in no way raise herself. For eighteen years, she had lived without being able to straighten herself up. This was not because of her age or because of natural causes, but because she was “possessed by a spirit of infirmity” (Lk 13:11). But then, she met Jesus. The Lord called her to Himself and said, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity” (Lk 13:12), in other words, ‘Woman, you are healed from your sickness’. And after He said these words ‘He placed His hands on her’ (Lk 13:13), and immediately her back was made straight, and so she glorified God (Lk13:13). This is a story about a person who had suffered for a long time and who was healed and set free by Jesus. “But the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath; and he said to the crowd, ‘There are six days on which men ought to work; therefore, come and be healed on them, and not on the Sabbath day’” (Lk 13:14). The leader of the synagogue was indignant about a healing taking place on the Sabbath. If we look at Mosaic Law there was some justification for the synagogue leader’s anger: “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
