Push or Plead

Pt. 2

As Luke tells the story of Jesus, he records very different reactions to his ministry. There are some who are constantly offended by what Jesus says and does. So much so that they seek to push him away and eventually plot to end his life. However, there are others that know they are in need of something different. They see Jesus for who he is and all he has to offer. They plead with him to stay.

Messiah

Jesus frequently communicated what he had to do. Despite the many times, he told his disciples that he must be handed over to die and rise again on the third day, his followers still managed to misunderstand. Following his brutal death, it seems no one expected him to return. They thought it was over. But it wasn’t. A group of women, arriving at the tomb to prepare Jesus’ body, make a discovery that would change the world. He is risen! Just as he said!

Who Is He?

March 26, 2023 • Pastor Matt Smith

When Luke opens his gospel, he makes his intentions very clear. His desire is to solidify the faith of a dear friend. Every story Luke shares points to the reality of who Jesus is, and what he has to offer. As you read about the miracles of Jesus you get a vision of him as teacher, protector, healer, and deliverer. But for him to be any and all of this, you must first accept him as savior.
