Luke

“Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and make them come in, so that my house will be full'” (Luke 14:23)

We have been commissioned to deliver Christ’s Kingdom Banquet invitations. Are you giving them out? Because Jesus wants His house full.

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Luke 12:34)

What do you treasure most? House, car, clothes, jewelry, computer, or money in the bank? Do your possessions possess you? Or do you use your possessions to win friends for the Kingdom? What you value reveals your heart condition.

“’Martha, Martha,’ the Lord answered, ‘you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her’” (Luke 10:41-42)

Are you a Mary or a Martha today? Have you made the Lord your one thing or are you worried about many things?

“Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, ‘I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children'” (Luke 10:21)

When the 70 returned from witnessing, the Lord was overjoyed. That’s what you feel when you share the gospel, the joy of Christ!

“My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice” (Luke 8:21)

How we respond to the Written Word reflects our relationship to the Incarnate Word. Those born again have ears attuned to the spiritual frequency of God’s Word and new hearts that beat to obey it.

“Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little” (Luke 7:47)

Our love for Christ is connected to an awareness of our own sinfulness. As long as one speck of self-righteousness remains in us, love for the Redeemer will be lacking.

“One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God” (Luke 6:12)

March 24, 2011

Have you ever stayed up all night talking to one you love? Did you complain of being sleepy? Did you reach for a sleeping pill? Or were you surprised that the sun came up so soon? I wonder what Jesus spoke of with His Father.

“Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed” (Luke 5:16)

March 22, 2011

Following Jesus we learn His rhythm of working out of rest. Lord, teach us to work out of a place that is fully secure and at rest in You. Not striving, thriving.

“Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch” (Luke 5:4)

March 21, 2011

Will you go deep and let down today?

“His winnowing fork is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire” (Luke 3:17)

Have you gone down to the threshing floor to lay at Christ’s feet? This is what Ruth did for her kinsman-redeemer. Your redemption is in Christ alone.
