The Gospel of Luke 10:32 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.” (Luke 10:32 KJV).

In this teaching of the Lord Jesus about grace versus the law, responding to the religious lawyer’s question: who is my neighbor?, He continues the parable with a Levite also traveling on the same road. Following the Priest, the Levite also stumbled on the injured traveler. (In the old covenant of the law, Levites who are direct descendants of Levi’s tribe were chosen for special role to support the Priest). He too avoided the badly wounded man and went on his way, as the Priest did.

We just watched two religious figures showing their inadequacy to respond the demands of the law that they zealously espouse. Their failure demonstrates that the holiness of the law is much too high for any man to fulfill. Yet, religion perpetuates this, adding their watered down doctrines, rules and rituals. As these Jewish religious Priest and Levite did, and this present day’s religious enterprises are promoting, gives them away with their hypocrisy.

The Priest and the Levite, represent religious systems and law-keeping. And they failed bigly to help the man because the Law is given to expose sin, and not to empower a truly righteous living (Romans 3:20). Instead of the law's demands or condemnation, as the Lord's redeemed, we - all believers should focus on God's constant supply of grace for every day living. Grace enables us to manifest its fruit by faith in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Our part therefore is to simply "take" and "receive" righteousness from God in faith by grace (Galatians 3:11), not by trying hard to earn His favor through works. Lest it won’t be grace no more. It is only by faith alone that pleases God and lets Him be God in our lives. Let us be reminded, it is written: “And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6 ESV).

And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of Luke 10:31 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.” (Luke 10:31 KJV).

Continuing on His parable of a traveling man beaten by thieves and lying wounded on the roadside, the Lord Jesus tells in this passage that another traveler - a priest, chanced on and saw the wounded man. This priest, probably one of those religious Jews, displaying an attitude of no regard, just look past the wounded man who may also be a Jew from Jerusalem, he just walk around to avoid the languishing man and continue on his travel. Cruel and heartless it is, we may surmise. But, wait! Isn’t that what and how most people behave? Or, even perhaps you and I maybe, when faced with such situation? Fearful, we find countless of reasons not to get involve in someone else’s affairs.

We are in no position to judge this priest. You and I to some degree are guilty of the same! By our own self effort to do good, we lack the power to manifest as such, no matter how hard we try, as much as we can, on our own merit and strength. Even as we feel we fulfill some expectations, we always fail to meet the full and perfect standards of the demands of the law. The law is holy beyond our grasp. We fall from God’s glory (Romans 3:23). We are separated from Him because of sin. Hence, we needed the Holy One to rescue us and bring us back to a place we should be - in God’s grace!

This is therefore a pop up alert for us. It is not by religious priestly position we gain pleasure with God. It is not by trying hard to observe the law, but by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and in His sacrificial death and in His resurrection and life. Scriptures affirm: “For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.” (Romans 5:10-11 ESV).

And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of Luke 10:29-30 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.” (Luke 10:29-30 KJV).

These passages, focus on redirecting from demand-oriented religious work of the law to supply-oriented relationship by grace in Christ Jesus. In this continuing interaction between the Lord and the Jewish religious expert of the law, knowing the lawyer's motive, the Lord Jesus introduces a parable in response to the man's justifying query “who is my neighbor?” The story is about a man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho. This is a path that goes through the Samaritan area. The commandment the religious lawyer quoted was about loving God and neighbor. The man in the story stumbled among thieves and was beaten.

This parable of a man who may be a Jew, beaten, stripped of his garment and left wounded on the road, was prompted by the lawyers query centered on the religious idea of loving one’s neighbor by the religious demands to work hard by the law. The traveling man in the story is metaphorically you and I and every person in this journey of living. In our journey in this treacherous world, it is vey likely for us to encounter sin and miss the law that could beat and leave us wounded on the road.

This should alert and forewarn us that we need security and protection to shield us in our journey. We need grace and we need the cover of God’s grace being His children in Christ Jesus by faith. In Him, we have no fear against thieves. God is our shield, as Scriptures assure us with God's oath to Abraham. It is written: “After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: “Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.”” (Genesis 15:1 ESV).

And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of Luke 10:25-28 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.” (Luke 10:25-28 KJV).

In these passages, we are watching unfold an interaction between the Lord Jesus and a Jewish religious lawyer. He is an equivalent to present day religious preacher, priest and scholar. This lawyer when rose to ask a question “Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”, the Lord, of course, knew that he was tempting Him. Hence, as always when dealing with religious people whose intent is to trap Him of their delusions with the law, the Lord always points them to the undoable observance of it. Doing the law, which was what the religious lawyer alludes when he said “what shall I do”, is humanity’s heinous act of disobedience against God. That’s the sin the chosen people committed at Mount Sinai when they told God through Moses to tell them what to do and they will do it. That’s after they have been taken cared by God from Egypt to Mt Sinai under His loving grace.

While they were in God’s direct care by dependence on Him, by grace they were provided all their needs of food and water, covered with pillars of clouds against the heat of the sun and by pillars of fire against the cold of the night, despite their constant complaints and murmuring against God. Hence, they were given the commandments itched in stone. They challenged Jehovah “we will do it”. And yet, before even the law was given, while Moses was coming down the mountain with the Law of God, they already broke the First Commandment of the law, which is what this religious lawyer proudly quoted, and the Lord Jesus tells him to do. Which this lawyer could not do and have not done. No one can, except the Lord who he’s talking with.

The Law was given to the rebellious Israelites to make them realize that righteousness before God is not by self effort to observe the law but by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Scripture affirms, as Apostle Paul testified: “I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.” (Galatians 2:21 ESV).

The Gospel of Luke 10:23-24 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see: for I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.” (Luke 10:23-24 KJV).

These passages emphasize the incredible blessings believers are endowed with to see and experience the Lord Jesus as He truly is—God's manifest grace and truth—unlike the prophets of old who only glimpsed Him in types and shadows. This revelation of the Lord’s fullness brings wholeness, healing, and divine provision, making our part to simply receive Him, not just serve Him, allowing His unmerited favor to transform us from within.

The Apostles were common men given an incredible blessing. They were blessed to be able to see God's greatest promise fulfilled and embodied in the Lord Jesus Christ. We have received their testimony to the Word, this fulfillment of God's promises, in the Gospels. We are incredibly blessed, indeed. The Lord Jesus is the turning fork of all revelations and the fulfillment of all of God's plans. If we are going to understand Scripture, and God's plan for our lives and our salvation, we begin with Christ Jesus. Let's rejoice at the privilege of living in the light of His glory.

Go for the Lord Jesus Himself, the source, not just the blessings or healings He provides. This Apostle Paul affirms, as he testifies: “But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith—” (Philippians 3:7-9 ESV).

The Gospel of Luke 10:22 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.” (Luke 10:22 KJV).

This passage viewed through the lens of divine revelation, explains the exclusive relationship between Father and Son, and the Lord Jesus' role as the Revealer of God's love and grace, not a harsh judge. It affirms that knowing the Lord Jesus isn't through knowledge obtained by human effort but by faith in the Son revealing the Father. It is about the Gospel to receive God's unmerited favor in the Lord 's finished work, not by legalistic effort to observe the law. We look to grace by faith in Christ Jesus, not to the law by trying hard to fulfill it, as religion teaches to deceive many.

Seeing the Lord Jesus as the Word (John 1:1) - through grace, not law, brings tangible blessings of healing, peace and prosperity in our life. Most importantly, we gain spiritual transformation, as it changes our focus from our self performance to total dependence on His provision of grace. The Lord Jesus came to reveal the Father in Himself, being the Father’s exact representation. You and I who believe in Christ Jesus, are declared children of our Heavenly Father. Now we know Him for He is revealed to us in Christ Jesus our Savior.

This the Scriptures attest, as it is written: “Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,” (Hebrews 1:1-3 ESV).

And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of Luke 10:21 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.” (Luke 10:21 KJV).

This passage of the Lord's exultation addressed directly to the Father, Lord of heaven and earth, confirms God’s way of revealing Himself and His Kingdom. He reveals not to the earthly wise, proud, and intellectuals who can be people that are blind to spiritual realities, as seen with the religious leaders - Pharisees, priests and scribes (Mathew 23:17-24). He reveals to those who humbly receive His Son - Christ Jesus and His grace. He chose fishermen as His first disciples. He chose not the religious and the worldly “scholars” who rely on their own wisdom and understanding or works. It is humility and total dependence in the Lord’s grace that enable a deeper, more joyful experience and knowledge of Him by faith.

This exultation follows the return of the 72 disciples, who were amazed by how their authority over demons worked. The Lord Jesus reframes their success, pointing to them the greater victory of salvation and having their names written in heaven. Then, He thanks the Father for choosing to reveal His deepest truths through humble dependence on Him, rather than through human wisdom or self-sufficiency. This is exemplified by the Lord's own relationship with the Father and the blessing He bestows on those who believe in Him.

For our comfort in this post resurrection dispensation of His grace, as children of God in Christ, the Holy Scriptures remind: “But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”” (1 Corinthians 1:27-31 ESV).

And I say, AMEN!

Blessed Christmas 2025!

Dear Family, loved ones, friends and brethren.

Blessed Christmas to you all! 

May the joy and peace of the Lord reign in all our hearts this season as we celebrate the entrance of our Savior Christ Jesus our Lord into this world.

He is God in flesh, who - “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’ ”) Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.”(‭‭John‬ ‭1:1-18‬ ‭NIV‬‬).

He is the One declared in creation “Let there be light, and there was light.” (Genesis 1:3). He came to be the light of this darkened world (John 8:12), so we won’t walk in darkness with Him being the light of our life by our faith in Him.

“All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us).” (‭‭Matthew‬ ‭1:22-23‬ ‭ESV‬‬).

Again, blessed Christmas to you and all!!!!

And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of Luke 10:20 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.” (Luke 10:20 KJV).

In this passage, the Lord Jesus is giving the seventy plus disciples and us a very important reminder. While it's a good moment for joy to have power in this physical realm over evil spirits, theirs and our true lasting joy and security should come from knowing that our names are recorded in heaven (in the "Book of Life"). The Lord Jesus is redirecting our focus to salvation and intimate, personal relationship with God through Him, not just the temporary spiritual successes or abilities. It is a call to keep our eyes locked on our eternal identity and God's love, rather than worldly or even momentary spiritual achievement.

The Lord Jesus affirms their given power, but redirects their celebration beyond the physical realm to the foundational truth of their eternal standing with God. That’s the truth that lasts beyond their earthly ministry successes. It is a shift of purpose from the outward physical signs of power (submission of spirits) to the inmost reality of being chosen and loved by God.

With our names written in heaven is God's promise of love and eternal life, and our inclusion in His everlasting kingdom, a far greater blessing than any earthly manifestation of power. Having been saved by His grace through believing in Him, the Lord Jesus is pointing us to the book of life that records the work of God we have done (John 6:29). This book will be opened at the great white throne. It is written, as revealed through Apostle John the beloved: “And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done.” (Revelation 20:12 ESV).

The Gospel of Luke 10:19 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“Behold, I have given unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” (Luke 10:19 KJV).

This passage brings back memories of my childhood days. One instance, when I was around seven or eight years old, I was bitten on my check by my uncle’s dog that I surprised on while nursing its critters. Dogs are so protective of their puppies, and I did scare it. So, it bit me. I was never medically treated for it. It did not hurt me. It even did not leave a scar on my beautiful (joke) face. We just put our raw trust in God. Some say it’s luck that the dog was not rabid. But now, looking back, I believe it’s God’s grace. In another instance, when I was around 11 or 12 years old, while running on my way to school with only flip flops on, I stepped on a snake which bit my ankle. I was never treated medically for it, as well. We did not have easy access to medical resources. All we have was raw trust in God. My parents didn’t even know of it, until the man who happen to help me rub the wound with some leaves, told them about the incident.

It amazes me to recall those incidents reflecting on this passage now, knowing that the Lord Jesus gives us authority over toxic and venomous critters in this world. We just need to trust in Him. At that time I did not know of this Word of the Lord. All I have was trust in God. I know that the God my parents mentioned is real, though not the way they knew Him. With thanks to the Lord, ultimately in the later years of their lives, they encountered the true God of the Bible by letting go the god of religion. Through the holy and written Words of the true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who sent His only begotten Son, they encountered Christ Jesus our Lord.

It is very reassuring for us, being God’s children in Christ Jesus, to have His pronouncement that nothing can harm us in this world as we rest in the cover of His grace. In Christ Jesus, we have these prophetic Words pointing to the Lord Jesus in whom we depend on to cover us: “Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place— the Most High, who is my refuge— no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and the adder; the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot. “Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”” (Psalm 91:9-16 ESV).

And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of Luke 10:18 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“And he said to them, “I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.” (Luke 10:18 KJV).

This passage affirms that Satan is a defeated foe, and has lost his dominion and power. The Lord is telling the seventy plus disciples who just returned from their mission and who are rejoicing that demons submitted to them, that they should not be surprised because Satan's power was already broken. The Lord’s description: “Satan fall like lightning from heaven”, points to the fall, which happened before the temptation in the Garden of Eden. The Lord Jesus is reaffirming that believers can look forward to have His given authority over the enemy through His finished work on the cross.

The Lord’s vision was of an event that had already occurred as written in Isaiah 14:12. The "fall like lightning" emphasizes the swift and decisive nature of Satan's judgment and expulsion from his original place in heaven. This defeat is to be sealed by the Lord’s accomplished work of sacrifice on the cross. The sin inflicted by Satan on humanity has now been gotten rid off by the Lord’s death and resurrection.

Now, as children of God by faith in Christ Jesus, like the apostles and the seventy plus disciples, we should not fear Satan or evil spirits, but rather walk in the authority we are given by the Lord Jesus Christ. In grace, free from the old shackles of the law, we have the assurance: “The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 15:56-57 ESV).

The Gospel of Luke 10:17 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.” (Luke 10:17 KJV).

The second tier of seventy plus disciples are chronicled in this passage as having returned from their mission joyful as they were able to exercise expelling demons with power. They went out to every cities and towns preparing for the Lord’s arrival with authority and power, the Lord Jesus bestowed on them, over the forces of darkness, to heal the sick and to cast out devils. Their ability to cast out demons was a sign of the nearness of the kingdom of God and foreshadows the ultimate defeat of Satan.

The disciples are rejoicing in the tone of celebration for the outcome of their mission. Their exclamatory declarations show they came to a deeper sense of understanding and realization of the power that the Lord Jesus had given them. They are made aware of the power of His name. Their success was not due to their own strength but was a direct result of acting "in His name," (John 14:12-14) meaning under the authority and power of the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Scriptures affirm that: “Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:9-11 ESV).

The Gospel of Luke 10:16 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.” (Luke 10:16 KJV).

This passage is basically the final parting words of our Lord Jesus to the Seventy plus disciples He sent ahead to the cities, towns and villages to prepare for His arrival. This warns them of the mix responses they will encounter. They will be heard and will be despised. This also established that the authority and message of His disciples are directly connected to the Lord Himself and to God the Father, setting a chain of divine authority. By listening to the disciples is in fact listening to the Lord Jesus, while rejecting them is a rejection of both the Lord Jesus and the Father who sent Him.

The Seventy Two disciples are sent with full authority to speak and act on the Lord’s behalf. The message they carry is not their own, but the Lord’s - with His divine authority behind it. Hence, they are being prepared how to react to both acceptance and rejection by the people they encounter. So, for us now, the contemporary disciples of the Lord Jesus that receive His Words and saved by grace through faith, this verse provides encouragement in the face of opposition. This lets us know that struggles faced for our faith are ultimately not a personal attack, but a reflection of the religious people's rejection to both the Lord’s message of grace and the Father’s love.

This, therefore, reminds us all - children of God in Christ Jesus, of the reality in this world. And, He reassures us with these words: “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”” (John 16:33 ESV).

And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of Luke 10:15 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades.” (Luke 10:15 ESV).

Capernaum was a flourishing commercial city in Galilee where the Lord Jesus spent time to reside and performed many of His miracles. They experienced heavenly works of the Lord in their midst. It was a place where the Lord Jesus performed numerous healing and teaching, and yet most of the people there did not believe in Him. In Matthew 11:23-24, the Lord Jesus laments their unbelief and pronounces its sad consequence on the day of judgment, saying that Capernaum will be brought down to Hades.

This pronouncement on Capernaum serves as a warning to those who reject Him and His message. The people of Capernaum had witnessed the Lord’s miraculous works and heard His message of the Gospel of the Grace of God (Acts 20:24), yet they chose not to believe in Him. Their unbelief is ultimately what led them to the path of judgment. This serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of rejecting the Lord Jesus and the Gospel of the New Covenant of Grace.

The Lord Jesus did not execute judgement to condemn Capernaum. He came not to condemn but to save. His declaration is a lamentation of the path the city has chosen to reject Him. They opted to go the way of self-condemnation, being made aware that rejection and not believing in God’s only begotten Son is a self-inflected act of eternal ramification. It is written: “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.” (John 3:17-18 ESV).

The Gospel of Luke 10:13-14 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.” (Luke 10:13-14 KJV).

In these passages, the Lord gives direct warning of woe to Chorazin and Bethsaida that stubborn unrepentant cities, as they are who have heard and seen the signs from heaven done in their midst, are judged for rejecting His message and "mighty works". Their rejection is their self condemnation. A rejection, rooted in misconception of the law and reliance on their own performance, leads to unbearable consequence at the day of judgement. The Lord says that the gentile cities of Sidon and Tyre would have profoundly repented - sitting in sack cloths and ashes (an old Jewish symbol of deep remorse) had the miracles and signs been done in their midst instead. This statement points to the truth that by the New Covenant of Grace, if the same message has been proclaimed in the gentile cities of Sidon and Tyre they would accepted. With all the miracles manifest in the religion influenced cities of Chorazin and Bethsaida, those two gentile cities would have believed. In God’s grace through the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ, all are saved by faith alone, not by works of self effort to observe the law.

These passages, therefore, remind us in the now - in this post resurrection time of the Lord’s dispensation of grace, that His work on the cross is finished and complete. Now, we can come in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ as we are in the truest sense of authenticity and in the posture of receiving. We have the knowledge that the blessings of healing, provision, and righteousness are not earned but are received by grace, through faith in Him because of what He accomplished on the cross. We must therefore keep this rooted in our being, Scriptures declare: “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ESV).

The Gospel of Luke 10:10-12 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.” (Luke 10:10-12 KJV).

The Lord Jesus continues His instruction to the seventy plus disciples He is sending as advance party to cities and towns that are in His visit list. The disciples’ mission is to proclaim that the Kingdom of God is at hand. They are given the authority to heal the sick and to cast out demons. In these verses, they are given specific command what to do to a city or town that rejects the message they bring. They are primed ahead to be ready and not be surprised when the message of the Kingdom of God will not be received with open arms and heart. Some will even go beyond rejection to mount an opposition, but still they must proclaim that the Kingdom of God is come.

The environment in Israel during this moment in time, people were eagerly awaiting for the Messiah. Hence, it is of significance to understand the reality on the ground where the Lord’s disciples are heading. The Jewish people were expecting a Messiah that will establish a physical kingdom of God that will save them from Roman rule. But the message the Lord sent the disciples to deliver is of a spiritual kingdom of God and repentance - very far fetched for many to accept in the cities and villages that are influenced by religion, especially the religious leaders and the priests.

Hence, the Lord Jesus had the disciples ready for such scenario of rejection. In such sobering case they are commanded to go out publicly in their streets, shake the dust of their feet and declare: “‘Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.’” (Luke 10:11 NIV). Rejection of the kingdom of God that comes in the Person of Grace - Christ Jesus our Lord, brings the severest form of consequence on the Day of the Lord’s second coming. Rejection of GRACE makes Sodom more bearable than that town, the Lord warns. 

Such a very profound warning for those in this present day and age who stubbornly rejects the Kingdom’s gospel of the Grace of God. They hear but purposely refuse to believe. They opt to follow pagan based religion of customs, rituals and traditions concocted through worldly ideas. They commit a self-ordained judgement on themselves. The Lord Jesus declared these words of truth: “Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.” (John 3:18 ESV).

And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of Luke 10:9 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“and heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.” (Luke 10:9 KJV).

We see in this passage the Lord Jesus continues His command to His advance party of seventy plus disciples. They’re given a mission of compassion and clear mandate to proclaim God’s coming Kingdom, to prepare the people of every town they enter for His arrival. They are to physically heal the sick in the town they enter and stay as a tangible expression of God's mercy and power. They are to announce that the reign and sovereignty of the Kingdom of God has come in Christ Jesus, and that they - the people, can now enter it through grace by faith in Him.

The Lord's specific instruction that "The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you" is a loaded assertion that the Kingdom of God is both imminent and accessible, though not physically manifest yet. But it is powerfully and spiritually present in Christ Jesus. This is, therefore, an urgent directive for all of us, who are redeemed and reborn in spirit by grace through faith in Christ, and have seen God’s glory in Christ, to continue the mission of spreading the message of salvation and demonstrate the kingdom, driven by love and compassion. It is not driven by religion like we watch happening in our present and past worlds. We sadly watch many deceived by religious enterprises shaped in precepts concocted by humans and influenced by the politics and cultures, and even sciences of the world.

The love that drives us is not that of the world which is erratic, relative and changing by winds of time. It is the Love that is of God and who is God Himself in us (1 John 4:8). It is the Love that the world will know but resists. The Lord Jesus Christ commands us to love as He loves us. He declares in His Words: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”” (John 13:34-35 ESV).

The Gospel of Luke 10:8 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

““When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you.” (Luke 10:8 NIV).

The key is: “When you enter a town and are welcomed”, with no anxiety or fear, but with comfort in the Lord’s grace, we are to have freedom assimilating with the folks of the welcoming town we enter. This gives us the idea of blending in without adapting to their lifestyles. Rather, we come to convey the Kingdom blessings we bring in. With graciousness we accept and eat their victual offerings. As the Lord’s sent messengers, we rely on God to provide for our needs through the hospitality of the town folks we blend with. When shown hospitality, we are to receive it gratefully. We should not move around seeking better viands or more support, like a heathen conman does to take advantage of the goodness accorded.

In this village, where the people “accept and approve of” them, the disciples were instructed to “consume” whatever food the people of the city put before them. So do we that follow their steps. In other words, as disciples and ambassadors of the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:20) we are not to set the menu. Ministers of God’s message are not to choose or demand what people should be feeding them nor are they to decide what they are to “drink”. The idea is to appreciate whatever the people offer. And they must never take advantage of people to whom they are ministering. This may be challenging at times because those who have traveled throughout the world to minister the gospel of the Lord Jesus may have “different kinds of foods” set before them. God’s gospel, provided through His Son Jesus, is to be made available to everyone “without charge”, and the grace of Jesus Christ was never to be abused by setting meal menus. Let all who read these words receive the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal “Savior and Lord” and never set menus as to what they should eat.

Here’s what we do, as the redeemed of the Lord, Scriptures instruct: ““If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience. I do not mean your conscience, but his. For why should my liberty be determined by someone else’s conscience? If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks? So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” (1 Corinthians 10:27, 29-31 ESV).

The Gospel of Luke 10:7 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.” (Luke 10:7 KJV).

By this instruction, the Lord Jesus gives the disciples, and us that follow them, a boost of encouragement to receive God's supply through the generosity of others without guilt. He reminds, by comparing to a labor's worthy fare, that His provision for the ministry of His Words is an assured fruit of sowing, not a wage, not a debt or charity. The Lord's instruction in this passage is in context with divine provision through resting in grace by faith in Christ's finished work, rather than striving by self-effort to earn. This means total reliance on the Lord’s unmerited favor, rather than our own work.

This gives us a preview of the story of Mary and Martha in the upcoming account of Luke in this chapter. In one of the Lord's visit to teach in their home, Mary rests and chooses the "one thing that is needful" —sitting at the Lord's feet to receive His Word—over Martha's striving and being "troubled about many things" (Luke 10:38-42). We too should choose to rest in grace while allowing the flow of the Lord's Living Words through us as we navigate town after town entering to stay in one house at a time, until we move on.

In these passages, God assures us that as we go to deliver the message from heaven about the Kingdom of God, He takes care for all our needs. We depend on no one but Him. Yes, He can and will use anyone we encounter on the way, in the house we choose to enter and stay. We will be provided and fed. The Lord even uses the ravens to supply food to the prophet Elijah. Let us therefore be assured to remember the Word of God to Elijah, as it is written: “And the word of the Lord came to him: “Depart from here and turn eastward and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, which is east of the Jordan. You shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”” (1 Kings 17:2-4 ESV).

And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of Luke 10:5-6 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.” (Luke 10:5-6 KJV).

As with the seventy plus disciples, we as well, in our journey and mission in this realm of living, we bring peace to convey and manifest wherever we go. We are instructed to offer peace to every dwelling we enter. And the presence of “the son of peace” who is open, hospitable, and ready to receive the Gospel of Grace, allows the peace we offer to rest. In Hebrew, this person or household is one "worthy of peace" and is receptive to God's message. This is the bridge in facilitating ambience to introduce God’s message to the community. On the other hand, with peace unsettled in the absence of the son of peace, conveys rejection. It sadly results to great loss and judgement to the village due to missed opportunity to believe in the name of the Son of God (John 3:18).

These passages serve as guide for believers commissioned by the Lord as delivery men and women of the gospel of Grace, indicating that they should look for a "person of peace" to help others to be open to the Gospel. Peace is the litmus test to the hearts of those who are on the brink of hearing the heavenly message of God in the house we enter. In Christ Jesus, we are sent as His ambassadors, with His immense authority and power backing us (2 Corinthians 5:20).

We are called to respond to the commission, so that many can call upon the Lord’s name by faith and be saved. “For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” (Romans 10:13-17 ESV).

The Gospel of Luke 10:4 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.” (Luke 10:4 KJV).

In a worldly mindset, this passage is perplexing and even contradictory to its established norms. Travel, especially for a modern individual of the world, calls for full planning and complete preparation, knowing the mission to accomplish has its expected risks to face. Resources for sustenance and tools for protection are needed. But, considering its broader context in a non-worldly perspective, that of a heavenly nature, this verse takes on a deeper and supernatural message.

These seventy two disciples are sent as an expanded group from the first twelve apostles that the Lord Jesus Christ commissioned originally with the same specific instructions to travel light without extra provisions, conveying the message to rely on heavenly supply and not of the world. This conveys the Lord’s seriousness of His assurance about trusting Him to have single-minded focus on the mission at hand.

The Lord Jesus gives them a new command: “do not greet anyone on the road.” (Luke 10:4b NIV). This is a call for steadfastness on their mission and a warning against being distracted by worldly concerns. The world contains the beauty and wonders of God’s creations. These are blessings for our enjoyment and to sustain our physical journey in the world. But, the enemy, with its trickery, can use it - even blessings intended for our good, to make us blink and fall. It is written: “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.” (Genesis 1:31a NIV). 

As with every other things good, the enemy can use it to distract us if not carefully placed in its right order of priorities. Earthly things must only be secondary. Hence, the Lord Jesus instructs the seventy two and us - who now are His redeemed by grace - given the mantle and commissioned to go share the Good News from Heaven on this planet, not to be sidetracked. We must have a single-minded focus to do Kingdom business FIRST. Scriptures remind: “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33 ESV).

The Gospel of Luke 10:3 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.” (Luke 10:3 KJV).

Reflecting on this passage through the lens of grace, the Lord's finished work on the cross, and having receive God's power through faith, we are alerted to be sent as sheep among wolves. We are not sent counting about our strength, but about relying on the Holy Spirit who is within us. It is in the comfort that we are made righteous by faith in Christ, which allows the Holy Spirit to dwell within us, and His power is what enables the Lord’s early disciples and us to be a "sacrificial, suffering witness" of His message that the Kingdom of God is come.

In the eyes of the world, with our meekness, we're like sheep sent among pack of wolves. We go not relying on our own strength, but on God's grace. Our dependence on the Lord’s grace is the "unshakable foundation of Mount Zion" -representing the New Covenant of Grace in Christ (Hebrews 12:18-24) rather than the "shaky ground of work in self-effort of the law” - represented by Mount Sinai where the law was given through God’s servant Moses (Exodus 31:18).

With the Holy Spirit in us, we are made righteous through faith in the sacrifice, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. This indwelling power of the Holy Spirit, that we receive by faith in Him, is what enables us to face the "wolves". When the Lord said, to you and I, who believes and rest in His grace "I am sending you out like sheep into the midst of wolves," in a way that emphasizes that though we are vulnerable, we are sent out by our Lord Jesus Christ to witness through faith, with the assurance that He is with us, shielding us and providing for us.

We have God’s enduring and reassuring promise as it is written: “But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.” (Isaiah 43:1-3a ESV).

The Gospel of Luke 10:2 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.” (Luke 10:2 KJV).

The Lord Jesus Christ, in preparing the seventy-two disciples to heal the sick and preach that the kingdom of God has come, tells them to pray to the Lord of the harvest for even more workers in the field. The great harvest needs more laborers! In this passage, we see the workers building from one - the Lord Jesus, to twelve, to seventy or more, but the message of the kingdom of God needs even more workers. Using the farming metaphor, with Israel being an agricultural nation, the Lord conveys the nature of the harvest. It signals the precision of harvest time. And, the crops are ready but the laborers are few. More workers are needed, lest the crops would be lost in the fields.

It is, therefore, an urgent call for more workers, for the fields are ripe and harvest time has come. You and I, we all who now have heard, and receive the true Gospel of Grace, been born again for having been save through grace by faith in Christ Jesus, are being called to the field. We are not called to a building to build "church" of religion. We are called to the church of ripen harvest in the fields. Let us all join in, to spread the Good News of the Kingdom of God, declare healing over the sick and dying world, by the authority and power of the name of Christ Jesus - the Name above all names (Philippians 2:9-11).

Yes, let us declare in every outlet, foremost to those who are in the proximity of our voice and finger tips. Let us declare: Everyone is welcome! Come! Repent by coming in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ and by embracing His holy and written Words. Then surrender to the Lord Jesus Christ by accepting His Lordship. For it is written: “Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”” (Mark 1:14-15 ESV).

The Gospel of Luke 10:1 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.” (Luke 10:1 KJV).

The Lord Jesus Christ appoints and sends out seventy or seventy-two (in other translations) other disciples in pairs to prepare towns and places for His arrival in upcoming visits. This is the Lord’s expansion of His outreach beyond the twelve apostles to reach greater number of people in more locations. The number seventy-two may be a symbol pointing to the seventy-two nations of the world that came out of the sons of Noah after the flood as listed in Genesis 10, establishing the universal nature of the Gospel message of the New Covenant of Grace.

The mission requires full trust in God's provision, completely in contrast with today’s religious missions where so called ‘missionary workers’ even borrowing the name of the Lord, yet are made dependent on there religious enterprises for provision, instead of the true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. As true disciples sent by the Only begotten Son of God, the disciples’ dependence is on God’s provisions not men. They’re instructed to travel with only minimal resources (no debit/credit card, no backpack, or no extra Nike shoes) and to rely on the Lord’s provision through the hospitality of those who would receive and host them.

Along with the Seventy Two, you and we - as Partners for Christ, are not sent alone but in pairs to be efficient witnesses for the Gospel of the Grace of God. We are sent by Him who is the Person of Grace - our Lord Jesus Christ, in our daily walk in life, not by religious enterprises. We share the message of truth at every opportunity - in person or cyber space. Whether we are welcomed or rejected we press on. We have our back covered by heaven’s authority. We are duly provided and supported, as we give our love and service. We are reminded: “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.” (2 Corinthians 9:7-8 ESV).

The Gospel of Luke 9:61-62 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:61-62 KJV).

In these passages, again the Lord Jesus reminds us with the importance of our Kingdom commitment, highlighting the common hindrances of needless ‘buts’. Nothing, absolutely nothing, must stand in the way of the overarching call to follow the Lord Jesus Christ. Using the illustration of a farmer ploughing, we are to surmount looking yonder and press forward, full speed ahead. When distractions come and stray our way, and when we trip and fall, we must rise again, point our hearts in the direction of Christ Jesus and the Kingdom of God, and continue on.

Our calling as a reborn children of God by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is heavenly set. It is a forward and upward calling. It is not a call to return to the old ways, the old values, and the old habits. There is No turning back! Turning back, like what Judas Iscariot did, is catastrophic with eternal ramification. Our resolve must be to go full steam ahead! Sin, death, and defeat must be left behind. No looking back even glancing over the rearview mirror. To be with the Lord Jesus Christ with glory in His Kingdom, lies ahead. Again, there is NO turning back, because our charge to and for service in the Kingdom of God means that we are bound for glory.

Like Apostle Peter, even as he fails, he remain resting in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, we too, not be self effort of trying hard as religion teaches, but in Christ Jesus we rest by His grace through faith in Him, “The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” (Romans 8:16-18 ESV).

And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of Luke 9:59-60 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:59-60 KJV).

We just have witnessed a certain man who declared to follow but needed to be made aware of the cost in following the Lord, as we too are made aware. Here, in contrast we have a man being called but finds an excuse to bury his dead father. To him the Lord Jesus says: "Let the dead bury their dead." With this, the Lord reminds the spiritually alive not to be held back by the spiritually dead (those who do not follow Christ) to pursue their primary mission: to remain in God’s grace and proclaim the Gospel of the grace of God. This asserts a commitment to Christ that supersedes even the responsibility of burying one's father, which is viewed as a lesser duty compared to the greater calling of proclaiming the message of God.

The "dead" are those who are separated from God because of their sins and have not responded to the Lord’s call to follow Him. The reality is, this man’s father is physically dead, and the spiritually dead who are still physically alive can take care of the physical burial.

It is, therefore, a matter of prioritizing and not intended to debase the importance of honoring one’s family (1 Timothy 5:8). Rather, this highlights that when there is a direct conflict between honoring those who already used up their time on earth and the call to proclaim the Gospel to those who still have lien of time on earth, proclaiming the Gospel message must come first to save those who are still physically alive but dead in the spiritual realm. The Scriptures warn: “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.” (Ecclesiastes 9:10 NIV).

Our focus, therefore, are those who are still present in the body but spiritually separated from God. We must always be in the consciousness that Scriptures remind: “And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.” (Hebrews 9:27-28 ESV).

And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of Luke 9:57-58 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.” (Luke 9:57-58 KJV).

These verses emphasize the radical commitment and cost expected for following our Lord Jesus Christ, particularly the reality that true discipleship involves relinquishing comfort and attachment to worldly trappings. This gives a stark illustration of the sacrificial lifestyle and complete dependence on God that true commitment entails. The context of these passages is not about a lifestyle of depravity. It reminds our role of stewardship, as oppose to ownership, while we are still in this world. In a position of no possession, we are to totally depend on God’s provision of grace.

The man’s offer to follow "wherever You go" is a significant step to take, and the Lord's realistic response is meant to clarify the immense, uncompromising nature of His calling. His statement that the Son of Man "hath not where to lay his head" is not a deterrent, but an honest description of the path we go through as we follow Him by faith, showing that worldly comfort is not a part of the deal. Following the Lord avails firstly: the comfort from heaven. With the heavenly things being pursued first, all earthly gains are added unto us (Matthew 6:33).

These passages call for a complete renunciation of the old life—leaving behind worldly frills and vanities with the need for physical security, and then entering a new life of faith to take on new earthly calling commissioned from the Lord Jesus Christ. In Him we are to fully and totally depend in His grace. God's provision through grace, suggesting that even in the face of hardship, there is a constant supply of what is needed from God. We have the assurance, as it is written: “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.” (Philippians 4:19-20 ESV).

And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of Luke 9:54-56 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.” (Luke 9:54-56 KJV).

These passages serve as a powerful illustration of the contrasting natures of the Old Covenant of the Law and the New Covenant of Grace. The Lord’s rebuke of the disciples' vengeful spirit highlights His mission to save, not to condemn. These remind us, who are saved by grace through faith, and are made a new creation by the process of spiritual rebirth, that under grace we have a mission of love, and a spirit of patience, not of vengeance - even in the face of rejection.

In this scene we watch James and John, inspired by the Old Testament figure Elijah, wanting to call fire down from heaven in a spirit of vengeance when their message was rejected. Hence, the Lord Jesus rebuked them, stating, "You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives but to save them". A "law-based" mindset, seeks to punish rejection. In contrast, as manifest by the Lord’s rebuke, He is the "grace-based" heart of the New Covenant, who seeks to save all people.

These passages call all today's believers to examine their own hearts and motives. These urge people to ask if their actions are motivated by a desire to punish those who reject their message of truth or by God's grace to love, serve, and save them. The true Gospel of the Grace of God reminds that instead of wanting to bring down judgment, we should depend on God's grace to bring life and salvation to others, just as we are saved. When rejected, the Lord Jesus - the person of Grace reminds us to shake the dust off our feet, and move on in the spirit of compassion and love.

Yes, we must be compassionate and loving. But, we must not be tainted by the "dust" - that is pagan influence, of the rejecting towns we enter. Hence, to the Apostles that He sent on mission, and to us who are saved by His grace through faith and are sent as well, He gives this command: “And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart. As you enter the house, greet it. And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town.” (Matthew 10:11-14 ESV).

And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of Luke 9:52-53 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“and sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.” (Luke 9:52-53 KJV).

The context of these passages tells us that the Lord Jesus "resolutely set out for Jerusalem," signifying His commitment to fulfilling His mission, which included His eventual suffering and death in the hands of the religious priests in Jerusalem. This journey takes Him on short-cut way from Galilee through Samaria., Most religious Jews avoid this way, opting for a longer way. Historically, there was this deep hostility and prejudice between the Jews and the Samaritans, partly due to the Samaritans having an alternate worship site on Mount Gerizim. As He sent His messengers ahead to prepare for Him, the Samaritan villagers learned that the Lord was heading to Jerusalem - a grievous insult in their culture. They refused Him hospitality.

The story of Samaria started when it was established out of Israel's persistent idolatry and rebellion against God. So, God ordained the nation of Assyria to destroy and conquer them. Assyria did not keep the conquered people together as a way of preventing them from unifying and revolting. They scattered them throughout their empire, leaving only a few remnants in their homeland. Then people of other conquered nations were moved in (2 Kings 17). The "Samaritans" were descendants of the Jewish remnants who intermarried with Gentile immigrants. Their religion is a hodgepodge of Judaism and foreign pagan idolatry.

By the time of the Lord's earthly ministry, things were even more mixed up. Four hundred years before, around the time of the prophet Malachi, a group of priests left Jerusalem and established a new religious worship center near Shechem and Mount Gerizim in Samaria. They created their own religious branch or denomination of Judaism, about which history remembers little. Among the few details retained is that they believed Mt Gerizim in Samaria, not Jerusalem, was God's preferred place of worship. Hence, this deeply engrained division and hostility between the Jews and the Samaritans.

This kind of religious denominational system and religion as a whole, is the wall the Lord Jesus came to eradicate. But, sadly it is perpetuated by present day worldly oriented people to deceive many. This is therefore a reminder for all who now see and receive the message of Grace and Truth in Christ Jesus (John 1:14), that we are to get off the grip of religion and come to Christ Jesus in a personal relationship with Him by faith, not by pagan-based religious rigmaroles and rituals.

Religion is not of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who sent the Messiah - our Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus did not come so people can use His name to set up religion/s, religious enterprises and institutions. He came to release us from the Old Covenant of the Law (Galatians 3:13) and bring us back to Himself in the New Covenant of Grace (John 1:16). It is written: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.” (2 Corinthians 5:17-19 ESV).

And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of Luke 9:51 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.” (Luke 9:51 NIV).

This passage marks as a pivotal moment for our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the only begotten Son of God, sent by the Father to save us. He sets His direction to go towards Jerusalem the stronghold of religion. This seals the critical turning point in the Lord's mission, shifting His sight from Galilee to go to Jerusalem for His eventual climactic sacrifice in the hands of the Jewish religious leaders. The Lord Jesus unwaveringly resolve to go to Jerusalem, the city of David, for his final divine appointment. He "set His face toward Jerusalem" to fulfill his divine mission, which is a journey to be "taken up" in His death, His resurrection, and His ascension.

Every step the Lord Jesus takes towards Jerusalem was an act of love for you and I. It’s the only way for our forgiveness to be made possible through His sacrifice. We are loved. The reason the Lord Jesus left the majesty of heaven to come, stepped into the earth He created, to rescue us from the darkness of this world. Scriptures declare: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16 ESV). You and I are chosen in Christ Jesus by grace, as it is written: "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light" (1 Peter 2:9 ESV).

And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of Luke 9:49-50 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.” (Luke 9:49-50 KJV).

Despite having witnessed the Lord Jesus affirmed as the Messiah (Luke 9:18–20), awed by the glory of God affirming the Lord (Luke 9:28–36), and watched amazed the crowds’ reaction to His power (Luke 9:43), the disciples seemed to have gotten the whole thing off-track. They have become greatness focused. They fail to hear the Lord talking about betrayal by one of them, and be killed (Luke 9:44–45; Mark 9:30–32). They argue over what positions of importance they'll have when the Lord Jesus comes to reign in His kingdom (Luke 9:46–48).

Now, in these passages, in spite of the lessons the Lord has given them about serving to be great, they respond by complaining of a man not from their circle casting out devils in the name of the Lord Jesus. This response is way off. And they have performed this miracle when the Lord Jesus empowered and sent them out (Luke 9:1–6, 10). But, recently, they found themselves unable to cast out a single demon from a long-suffering boy (Luke 9:38–40). Their failure led the Lord Jesus to call them "faithless and twisted," like the rebellious children of Israel (Luke 9:41). Perhaps it also seeded envy in them of others performing what they could not.

They apparently are still thinking about worldly power and authority. They seemed to be protecting their physical closeness with the Lord or perhaps they’re in a feeling of exclusivity with a spirit of jealousy. Their hearts seem to be heading back to their religious upbringing under the law. They forbade those other believers to use the name of the Lord, for which they earn the Lord’s correction not to forbid.

These passages show us the inclusivity of God's kingdom. God is not a respecter of person. He is a respecter of faith. By faith in Christ Jesus, in His grace, you and I are as close to God as with anyone who believes with no preferential treatment. He sees us in His Son who shed His blood for us. Apostle Paul declares in one of his exhortations, which we too must declare and abide. It is written: “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20 ESV).

And I say, AMEN!

The Gospel of Luke 9:47-48 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him, and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.” (Luke 9:47-48 KJV).

Amidst the disciples’ crab-like-mentality-sounding commotion to grab greatness, the Lord Jesus having perceived their hearts’ thoughts turned the world’s whole idea of greatness upside down. Throughout history of the nations and the world, most people have established that greatness is determined by status, position, and being served by others. The Lord Jesus, however, taught and demonstrated that greatness is determined by service to others, especially those whom some see as unimportant and considered society’s rejects.

In the days when the Lord Jesus was here in the flesh, to give attention to and to welcome or care about children was considered a waste of time by so called "people of importance". The child was a symbol of those viewed as of no value as a person - only insignificant people spent their time on kids not their own. However, the Lord Jesus said that a truly important Kingdom person is going to find the left out, the forgotten, and the neglected to welcome and serve them, rather than trying to name-drop, hang around with the "in crowd" and ride on coat-tails of the rich and nobility. Greatness is about serving the least. It is neither about standing on a pedestal nor having great numbers of following on social media.

In the Kingdom of God, each one of us who are saved by grace must keep rooted in our hearts that greatness is being least and last. When in another occasion the issue of taking a seat of greatness popped up among the disciples, the Lord Jesus raised the bar from serving to sacrifice. It is written: “But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles Lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”” (Matthew 20:25-28 ESV).
