Luke 10:1-37
Christ’s
message - ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you’(9) - calls for our
response - hearing with faith or rejecting in unbelief (16). Where does
this response of faith come from? - From God: He reveals Himself to us
(21). Questions: Why do we ask them? - ‘to put Jesus to the test’(25),
‘to justify ourselves’(29)? You cannot come to Christ until you stop
trying to justify yourself - Are you trying to test Him or learning to
trust Him? (a) What shall I do to inherit eternal life?' (25): The law
cannot save. It can only show us our need of the One who does save -
Jesus (Romans 8:3-4). (b) ‘Who is my neighbour?’(29): ‘Passing by on the
other side’(31-32) - This is not love. It’s nothing like the love of
God for ‘sinners’(Romans 5:8). Jesus loves you. Let Him save you. Let
His love change you.
