SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:  Luke 9:1-62 – The Eternal Plan of God
I would like to go over this chapter in greater detail in the days ahead, it is a very busy year for the LORD as He seeks to call out the lost sheep of Israel. To reconcile the Jewish nation back to God’s original plan as the chosen Nation, whom they are. Even today, this very moment and hour, Israel is God’s personally chosen nation. (Many gentiles saints and unbelievers, and secular Jews disagree). Yet, one day soon, the nation will recall the Words of Jesus in Luke 13:34-35 and Matthew 23:39, blessed is He who comes in the Name of the LORD!

SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES: Jesus, the Christ of God/Messiah
AD 29 is a busy year for the LORD and His disciples. Chapter 9 of Luke’s gospel highlights many, but not all of the LORD’s events (see John 21:31). The other gospels of Matthew and Mark keep pace with the events until late fall of that year, then become silent for roughly six months. Then in AD 30, in early spring Matthew and Mark begin with the doctrine of divorce. Matthew 19:1-12 and Mark 10:1-12.
Luke carries chronologically the events of Jesus and the disciples through the spring of AD 30. The thought of this silence of Matthew and Mark reminds me that both Matthew and Mark are living out each event. Mark is a young lad, and following Jesus with his parents and possibly Barnabus a close friend of the family. Matthew a disciple, is participating in the events as Jesus leads. It is easier for an interviewer to glean the facts from others than it is for one who lives out an event, to do so chronologically.
Luke the physician, is also a historian who searches out the events. He is interested in getting the facts documented historically and in order for his friend Theophilus. Luke most likely spoke with Matthew, Mark and even John, regarding all that Jesus did during His Ministry on earth. Well, with all of this (conjecture) in mind, while it may be logical, it is but not at all be Spiritual. Being led by the Spirit of God is far greater than anything else we may seek to do.

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 203 Luke 21:7   –   So they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, but when will these things be? And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?” Matthew 24:3 – Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” Mark 13:4 – “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?” Jesus, the Christ of God/Messiah Yesterday we looked briefly at the First coming of the LORD Jesus, born of the virgin Mary, suffered and crucified, killed by the power of sin of which we all had and have a part in. He rose from this death; He is alive again . The apostle Paul writes, “For I deliver to you first of all that which I also received that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 169 Luke 14:7-14 - So He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them: “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him; “and he who invited you and him come and say to you, ‘Give place to this man,’ and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place. “But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you. “For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. Then He also said to him who invited Him, “When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. “But when you give a fea

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 161.1 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:   Luke 12:1-5 There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. “Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” Jesus, the Christ of God/Messiah An excerpt from yesterday’s devotional: In our passage, the point of the LORD is not that of being a newscaster but placing the death of these people beyond human judgment, in fact; Jesus does not look at the death of human beings as we do. All humans, past present and future will die a ph
