    Luke 4:18-19
    – “The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim freedom to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.

    Luke 9:22
    – “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, be killed, and be raised the third day.”

    Luke 23:46

    – “The women were terrified and bowed down to the ground. ‘Why are you looking for the living among the dead?’ asked the men. ‘He is not here, but He has been resurrected! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, saying, “The Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men, be crucified, and rise on the third day.”‘”

    Thank you for reading, sharing and commenting for the past 24 days of 2023 Blogmas.

    Despite facing false accusations, Jesus stood with resilience. Embrace inner strength in times of unjust criticism, trusting in your truth.

    Judas’ betrayal highlights the pain of broken trust. Learn to navigate betrayal with grace, recognizing that forgiveness can be a source of personal healing.


    Luke 22:48 – “But Jesus said to him, ‘Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?’”



    3. Compassion Amidst Cruelty

    Jesus’ compassion during his ordeal teaches us to maintain empathy even in challenging circumstances. Strive to show kindness, even when faced with cruelty.

    Luke 23:34 – “And Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.’ And they cast lots to divide his garments.”



    4. Endurance in the Face of Suffering

  • Wisdom And Authority.

    Wisdom And Authority.

    Welcome to day 20 of Blogmas. 5 days to Christmas. Let’s roll again:
    In the 20th chapter of the Gospel of Luke, we encounter a series of profound encounters between Jesus and the religious leaders. As we delve into the wisdom, challenges, and authority depicted in Luke 20, we uncover valuable insights that continue to resonate with us today.

    The Authority of Jesus
    Throughout this chapter, Jesus is questioned about his authority. His responses not only showcase his divine wisdom but also challenge us to reflect on the source of authority in our lives. In a world filled with conflicting voices, Luke 20 reminds us to anchor our trust in the unwavering authority of Christ.

    The Parable of the Vineyard
    The parable in Luke 20:9-19 serves as a poignant reminder of the consequences of rejecting God’s messengers. It prompts us to evaluate how we respond to the divine messages woven into the fabric of our lives. Are we attentive to the calling, or are we turning a deaf ear?

    The Question about Taxes
    In verses 20-26, the Pharisees and Herodians attempt to trap Jesus with a question about paying taxes. His response transcends the political context of that time, urging us to discern the balance between our earthly obligations and our commitment to God.

    The Final Warning
    As the chapter unfolds, Jesus issues a stern warning against the scribes. Luke 20:47 encapsulates a powerful message about humility and authenticity, cautioning against self-centered religiosity.

    Call to Action:
    In the tapestry of Luke 20, we find a compelling call to action. As we navigate the complexities of life, may we embrace the authority of Christ, heed the messages that beckon us toward God, and live with humility and authenticity.

    Join the Journey:
    Let Luke 20 be a guide in your journey of faith and self-discovery. Embrace the wisdom, confront the challenging questions, and surrender to the authority of the One who offers eternal life. Share your reflections on Luke 20 with others, engage in meaningful conversations, and let the transformative power of God’s Word shape your path.

    In a world hungering for truth and meaning, let us respond to the call embedded in Luke 20 – a call to follow Christ with unwavering trust, unyielding humility, and an authentic commitment to a life shaped by His authority.

    Conclusion:
    As we conclude our exploration of Luke 20, may its teachings resonate in our hearts. Let the authority of Christ be the compass guiding your journey. This is not just a chapter in a book; it’s an invitation to a life transformed by divine wisdom and lived in authentic surrender to the One who is both the beginning and the end.

    When Stephen meets Paul in heaven with Jesus smiling at them.

    Now, let’s turn to Luke chapter 19. This is a chapter that holds significant importance in Christian teachings. It features the compelling narrative of Zacchaeus, a tax collector, and the parable of the ten minas. These stories, interwoven with themes of redemption and transformation, offer valuable lessons for believers and readers alike.

    1. Zacchaeus: The Seeking Sinner

    The chapter begins with the story of Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector who, despite his wealth, was considered a sinner in the eyes of the community. His curiosity about Jesus led him to climb a tree to catch a glimpse of the passing Savior. Jesus, in an act of profound compassion, not only notices Zacchaeus but invites himself to his house.

    This encounter exemplifies the transformative power of grace. Jesus reaches out to those who society deems unworthy, emphasizing the importance of repentance and the potential for profound change.

    2. The Parable of the Ten Minas

    Following the Zacchaeus narrative, Luke 19 includes the Parable of the Ten Minas. In this story, a nobleman entrusts his servants with minas (a unit of currency) before leaving on a journey. Upon his return, he assesses their stewardship. Those who multiplied their minas were rewarded, while the one who buried his mina faced consequences.

    This parable teaches about accountability and stewardship. It emphasizes the responsibility believers have in utilizing their God-given gifts and resources for the advancement of the Kingdom. The parable encourages believers to actively engage in their faith and make a positive impact in the world.

    3. Key Themes: Transformation, Redemption, and Accountability

    Luke 19 resonates with several key themes that are central to Christian teachings:

    a. Transformation: The story of Zacchaeus illustrates the transformative power of encountering Jesus. His willingness to repent and make amends demonstrates the potential for positive change in the lives of those who turn to Christ.

    b. Redemption: Zacchaeus, once an outcast, experiences redemption through his encounter with Jesus. This theme echoes throughout the Bible, emphasizing God’s grace and the possibility of redemption for all who seek it.

    c. Accountability: The Parable of the Ten Minas highlights the concept of accountability in the Christian journey. Believers are called to actively use their talents and resources for the service of God, with the understanding that they will be held accountable for their stewardship.

    Conclusion:

    Luke 19 provides a rich tapestry of narratives and teachings that resonate with Christians across denominations. The stories of Zacchaeus and the Parable of the Ten Minas convey timeless messages of transformation, redemption, and accountability. As believers reflect on these teachings, they are challenged to examine their own lives, seeking opportunities for positive change and a deeper commitment to living out their faith.**

  • Christmas is Prayer

    Christmas is Prayer

    It’s day 18 already and we are readdddddy to learnnnnnnnnn again. Remember to share, link and comment on this.

    Chapter 18 of the Gospel of Saint Luke starts with the importance of consistent prayer.


    [1] He then told them a parable on the need for them to pray always and not become discouraged:
    ‭‭Luke‬ ‭18:1‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

    Therefore I am urging you to use this today to pray for someone.

    You can #PrayforNigeria, #PrayforUkraine, #PrayforEthiopia #PrayfortheGazanChildren

    The chapter stills continue on the need to pray a humble prayer because boastful ones won’t even hit the ceilings.


    [14] I tell you, this one went down to his house justified rather than the other; because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
    ‭‭Luke‬ ‭18:14‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

    The children shouldn’t be left behind because, ‭‭’Jesus, however, invited them: “Let the little children come to Me, and don’t stop them, because the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I assure you: Whoever does not welcome the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” Luke‬ ‭18:16‭-‬17‬ ‭HCSB‬‬
