Jesus Changes Us (Luke 6:12-49)

Jesus Changes Us

Luke 6:12-49

Followers of Jesus build on firm foundations (46-49)

We expect to change…

  • in what we value (20-26)
  • in how we love (27-36)
  • in how we view others (37-42)

It is a change that begins in our heart (43-45)

How firm are your foundations?

Jesus Changes Everything (Luke 5:33-6:11)

Jesus Changes Everything

Luke 5:33-6:11

Luke’s orderly account has shown Jesus’ authority, his compassion, his purpose…

Now Luke includes three incidents that show growing opposition to Jesus

  • the question of fasting and a parable (5:33-39)
  • picking grain on the Sabbath (6:1-5)
  • healing on the Sabbath (6:6-11)

Can you see that Jesus changes everything?

But opposition to Jesus continues!

Jesus goes ‘fishing’ (Luke 5:1-16)

JESUS GOES ‘FISHING’

Luke 5:1-16

Luke has shown us Jesus’ baptism, temptation, teaching, miracles and now…

  • a fishing miracle which shows Simon he’s a sinner – unworthy of being in God’s presence (v1-10)
  • and a miracle that shows Jesus restore an outcast considered unworthy of being in God’s presence (v12-16)

Jesus says Simon will do a different kind of ‘fishing’ (v10-11)

So, what does all that mean for us?

Jesus’ Miracles (or is it his authority?) (Luke 4:31-44

JESUS’ MIRACLES (Or is it Jesus’ Authority?)

Luke 4:31-44

Jesus did various miracles in Capernaum:

  • v33-37 freed a man oppressed by a demon
  • v38-39 and a woman suffering from a fever
  • v40 healed individuals from various kinds of sickness
  • v41 and cast out demons from many

But what Luke wants us to see if Jesus’ amazing authority……

JESUS’ TEACHING

Luke 4:14-30

Luke has shown us Jesus’ temptation and now his teaching

Jesus preaches a message of fulfilment and freedom

Jesus’ teaching will generate mixed responses……

many will not accept Jesus as Son of God and Saviour

How do YOU respond to Jesus’ teaching?
