LUKE CHAPTER 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCRIPTURES:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I will summarize Luke chapter 3 where Luke wrote about John the Baptist\u2019s Ministry, Jesus\u2019s baptism, and the family tree of Joseph Jesus\u2019s stepfather.\u00a0 Luke recorded in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea and When Herod and his brother Philip were ruling the word of the Lord came to John in the wilderness.\u00a0 John went into all the districts around Jordan and he preached the message of repentance for the forgiveness of sins just like the prophet Isaiah prophesied.\u00a0 John preached to the crowds and said things like you brood of vipers.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath of God?\u00a0 Your life must produce fruit proving you repented for your sins.\u00a0 Don\u2019t say you don\u2019t have to repent because you are Jews and you say Abraham is your father.\u00a0 God can raise children from Abraham from the very rocks around us.\u00a0 You are not saved because you are a Jew.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You must repent.\u00a0 Everyone who does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.\u00a0 The crowds questioned John and asked, what shall we do then?\u00a0 John answered and said repent for your sin.\u00a0 Prove it by doing things like this if you have two pairs of clothes share them with the man who has none.\u00a0 Do the same thing if you have extra food.\u00a0 You tax collectors don\u2019t collect more than what you have ordered.\u00a0 You soldiers don\u2019t take any money from anyone by force and be content with your wages.\u00a0 Many people were asking themselves if John the Baptist was the long-awaited Messiah the Christ.\u00a0 John knew what they were thinking plainly.\u00a0 John replied no I am not the Christ.\u00a0 I baptize with water.\u00a0 One is coming earlier is mighty than I am.\u00a0 I\u2019m not worthy to untie his sandals.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He will baptize you with Holy Spirit and with fire.\u00a0 He is ready to gather the wheat in his barn and he is ready to burn the chef with unquenchable fire.\u00a0 John was baptizing people.\u00a0 Jesus walked up and asked to be baptized.\u00a0 John reluctantly agreed.\u00a0 Once John baptized Jesus and while Jesus was praying heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form like a dove.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The voice came out from heaven saying,\u201d You are my beloved son.\u00a0 In you, I am well pleased.\u00a0 Jesus was about thirty years old when this happened.\u00a0 John the Baptist preached repentance to everyone including the rulers of the land.\u00a0 When John pointed out to Herod that he must stop committing sexual sins with his brother\u2019s wife and that he must repent.\u00a0 Herod became very annoyed.\u00a0 He loved his sin and did not want to stop.\u00a0 Instead, he had John arrested and thrown into prison to shut him up.\u00a0 In the first Gospel, a man named Matthew detailed the entire family tree of Mary Jesus\u2019s earthly mother to show that she descended from king David.\u00a0 Luke however detailed the entire family tree of Joseph Jesus\u2019s stepfather.\u00a0 Luke Joseph and his father, father\u2019s father, and on down the line. Luke wrote to each individual relative from each generation to prove that Joseph was in King\u2019s David line but Luke didn\u2019t stop there.\u00a0 He went on to Isaac and Abraham and kept going on and on. \u00a0Luke detailed Noah\u2019s, Lamech, Methuselah, and Enoch\u2019s.\u00a0 Luke went all the way and detailed Seth Adam the very first man and God his creator.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OBSERVATION<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thing I think the Lord wants us to understand after reading this is that John the Baptist preached repentance and baptize people in the water. Jesus preached repentance and baptized with the Holy Spirit and with fire.  He is still doing that today. He wants us to understand that repentance is a key aspect of salvation.  God wants us to see that all three persons of the Holy Trinity God the Father, God the son, and, God the Holy Spirit were present at the baptism of Jesus Christ ad people were eyewitnesses of this situation.  God listed the Genealogy of Jesus from king David to Abraham, Noah to Enoch to Adam the first man to God.  God is laid out in simple terms and an easy-to-understand format for anyone strong enough to stand for the truth.  Do you have enough confidence to stand up for what is true and correct in the face of this upside-down kingdom we all live in in the bible?  God detailed everything we need to know to live victoriously in this wicked alien world and even included how many generations of people existed since the beginning of creation.  You have a choice to make. You can believe God\u2019s word or you can believe the thousands of contradicting voices out there.  I choose God and how about you?  Come let us all turn from our sins right now and turn to God For salvation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prayer<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus, I believe you died for my sins, and only through faith in your death and resurrection can I be forgiven.  I want to turn from sins and ask you to come into my life as my saviour and lord.  From this day on, I will follow you by living a life that pleases you.  Thank you, Lord Jesus, for saving me.  Amen<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
