Luke 23: 1-25

Pilate's verdict is interesting:
“You brought this man to me, accusing him of leading a revolt. I have examined him thoroughly on this point in your presence and find him innocent. ¹⁵ Herod came to the same conclusion and sent him back to us. Nothing this man has done calls for the death penalty..."

There was nothing in Jesus that deserved death which is why He was the only one who could pay the price for sin.

Luke 13

The beginning of this chapter is very interesting. From Jesus' very own lips he explains that Salvation is totally dependant on him, not the events of ones life.

Luke 11

Your eye is the lamp of your body...

It took me a while, and asking Tom, to figure the section v33-36 meant.

It has challenged me about what I allow my eyes to see. If we are to keep our heart pure we have to guard it.

Luke 22

Wow, Jesus loves us so much that He was willing to pay the price for us.

Although He was born to die He agonised over this sacrifice

'...his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.'

What a wonderful Saviour.

Luke 11

What an encouragement this chapter is... for those who trully seek God the door will be opened.

How vital it is that we obey God when we hear his voice speaking.

Luke 21

Watch out...
Make up your mind not to worry...
By standing firm you will gain life...
Stand up and lift up your heads...
Be careful...
Be always on the watch...
Pray...
Stand before the Son of Man...

There is nothing passive about the Christian walk. Yet the above is only possible through the work of the Holy Spirit in us. As we look to Christ He will equip us for this walk amidst all the pressures of this world.

Luke 9

The instruction of Jesus at the beginning of this chapter has always intrigued me and challenged me. What faith the disciples would have needed to obey!
