We finished our study of Luke on Saturday. Luke completed the story of the events
surrounding the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus with Jesus appearing to
the 2 disciples walking to Emmaus, then appearing to main 12 disciples in the
upper room, followed by the ascension from Bethany.
Luke finished his book for the Gentiles by telling all of
us:
1)
God
calls each of us first, to faith in Christ 2) and then to do great things for His kingdom
It was a very
funny/ironic description of how the 2 followers thought that the stranger
(Jesus) was so out of touch and they tell Him of what He just went
through. The truth was on their lips but
not in their hearts. That can describe
us at times as well. We need to ask
Jesus to open our eyes and our hearts when we dive into His word.
My challenge to you for the week is to answer these 2 questions:
What is God’s
purpose for his church?
What
specifically does God want me to do?
You are called to do great things for His kingdom. We have the power of the Holy Spirit.
Be Intentional.
