Today’s Reading -

10/3/2019       Day 276 Luke 11:37 – 12:59

10/4/2019       Day 277 Luke 13:1 – 14:35

Reflection |

Today -

Chapter 11 - Prayer and Persistence - Lord’s Prayer;
Keep praying and have faith; ask and it will be given to you;
a house is not divided against itself - Jesus is not the devil;
Hear the word; Remember the example of Jonah; let your
Light shine; admonishments to religious leaders; 

Chapter 12 - healing and teachings; the Holy Spirit will
teach you; don’t worry - keep the faith - God will provide;
Don’t be afraid;

Chapter 13 - healing no matter the time; freedom comes
at all times; sayings about the Kingdom of God - mustard
seed, yeast; strive for faith in action; Jesus laments over
Jerusalem and its lack of faith and killing of the messengers
of God.

Chapter 14 - Jesus teaches in parables and heals - the Great
Banquet and the costs of discipleship; give it all; be the salt
of the earth.

More Luke by Mark Powell

Scholars think that Luke was written the end of the 1st century;
Luke probably had a copy of Gospel of Mark and a lost book
called the Sayings of Jesus (Q is what scholars call it).

Outline:

Chapters

1.1 - 4 Prologue - Luke hired to write this account of Jesus
1.5 - 2.52 Infancy narratives of both John the Baptist and Jesus
3.1 - 4.13 Jesus encounters John and the devil
4.14 - 9.50 Galilean ministry - Jesus calls and trains disciples,
works miracles, and gets into trouble with religious leaders.
9.51 - 19.27 Jesus and followers head to Jerusalem and learn along
the way.
19.28 - 21.38 Jesus teaches in the Temple
22.1 - 23.56 Jesus’ last supper, arrest, crucifixion, death, buried
24.1 - 53 Empty tomb - Jesus is Rizen; teaches disciples and
ascends into heaven.

O God, you declare your
almighty power chiefly in
showing mercy and pity: Grant

partakers of your heavenly
treasure; through Jesus Christ
our Lord, who lives and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever.
Amen.
