Week 27, Day 1 and 2
July 4 & 5, 2022 Luke 4-5 “But he said, “I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.”” (Luke 4:43) “Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.” (Luke 5:31) What must Jesus do? It is good for us to see the heart of Jesus. What is it that captivates and motivates his ministry? It is the lost and the sick. It is the broken and despised. It is for those who are far off. It is to help the sick. It is also to proclaim the Kingdom of God. These all go hand in hand. Jesus is announcing a new reality, a new way of life, one in which God is righting wrongs and setting things in their rightful order. Jesus’ ministry is centered on inviting people into this new reality. His particular interest are for those who have been suffering and gone through great difficulty. Is the Gospel that I share comparable and compatible with Christ’s? Is what captivated Jesus’ heart, the same as what captivates mine?
