Read Luke 18
This chapter begins with some instruction on prayer, goes on to address the doctrine of salvation, and finishes with Christ obviously pointing toward the way of our salvation, the cross. In each of the parts of the chapter we are instructed by way of some person. In the first we are taught that we must often go to our heavenly Father in prayer. Secondly, we are shown that our prayers must center on God’s glory. Then we see that we must put away our earthly desires and seek that which is above. Finally we see that we must be insistent in seeking our heavenly Father even as the blind beggars were.

And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. And he would not for a while...

Read Luke 17
As Jesus was making his way toward Jerusalem he was instructing his disciples in many things. They understood in a simple way what was being taught but not always why-and so-their simple request, “Increase our faith.” They understood that what their master was teaching them was important, but they wanted to know more. Are we like that? Do we delve into the scriptures with that prayer on our lips? Do we see the truths of scripture as they are unfolded in scripture, or do we want them to say what are our natural desires? Let us not only seek the truth let us be truly thankful for the salvation which removed from us the leprosy of sin.

Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. Take heed to yourselves: If thy....

Read Luke 16
What would you rather have? Would it be the riches of this earth like the rich man or the riches found in heaven like Lazarus? While we may say that the answer is easy, how are we living? Do we work on this earth to save up treasures in heaven? Or are the comforts and luxuries of this life more attractive? Which master do we serve? Is it our heavenly Father or is it the god of this world? Pray for the grace to know what is important and to seek that which is above.

And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.....

Read Luke 15
In this trilogy of parables dealing with lost things, we see two similarities. First of all the obvious one is that all of them deal with something that has gone lost for some reason. Secondly, and more importantly, each of these parables deals with us. Each parable deals with a different aspect of the life of the Christian. If we say that one of these parables does not characterize us, we are no better than the Pharisees who did not think that they were lost. We are the sheep, we are the coin, and we are the son. Only by grace have we been found and brought back into the fold.

Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. And he spake this parable unto them, saying, What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the n...

Read Luke 14
Are we ready to sit at the feast of the great supper? Or do we have our excuses ready-made why we cannot attend. Jesus’s parable is very pointed. We must examine our lives and see if our lives are leading us to refuse to attend that great supper. Are we too busy for the things of the kingdom? Do we have other desires than the kingdom causes that God has placed before us? Do we seek that kingdom believing that God will give to us the earthly needs that we have? Reading through this chapter more than once will show to us how to be ready when God commands us to come. When we come, we will be blessed. Of that there is no doubt.

And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him. And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy. And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sab...

Read Luke 13
Are we seeking to enter into the strait gate by walking upon the narrow path on this earth. Sometimes that narrow path does not seem so desirable. The wide path that leads to the wide gate seems to have a nicer way. That way seems to be more fun. If we choose that path, we will be selecting the same path of Israel of old who choose the worship of idols because it pleased their flesh more. Let us follow Him who leads us upon that narrow path and will shelter us with His wings when trouble looms. Jesus is heading toward the cross; are we walking the same route?

There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye...

Read Luke 12
From warning us about Satan’s wiles, Christ teaches us about the trials that will be ours in the last days. He not only warns us about those trials, he shows to us that the cause and outcome of those trials are in the Father’s sovereign hand. We need not fear as He tells the church in verse 32. We can look trouble in the face by looking past it to the face of our heavenly Father. In that face we will find the grace to withstand all trouble. Look to the Father, people of God, and look by faith.

In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed;....

Read Luke 11
Can we pray to our Father for all things and also withstand the troubles those in the world bring upon us? This is the teaching of Jesus in this chapter. He starts with prayer. At the behest of his disciples, Jesus gives to them and us a form of prayer that has served the church from Christ’s days until now. It is only a form. We can and must adapt it to fit the peculiar needs that we may have because of His sovereign hand. In praying daily we receive the strength to fight against all the wiles of the devil and the hosts He sends against us. We will know how to answer those who call into question our faith. We will know how to stand in the last days. Let us pray, people of God, and let us pray often.

And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will b...

Read Luke 10
Which of the people in this chapter are we? Are we the one beaten and despised by the established church? Are we one of those who left a man in need alongside of the road? Are we a good Samaritan? Do we attempt to trap Jesus? Are we Martha’s, so busy that we forget what are the good things? Are we Mary’s, who cling to the words of Christ? Or are we one who answers the call to go and reap the fields of the world in Christ’s name? We are one of those people, which one?

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. 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 s...

Read Luke 9
Are we fit for the kingdom of heaven? After reading the words of this chapter, which is the beginning of the road to the cross for our Savior, we must ask about our desire to walk that road. Are we willing to take up the cross of Christ and bear the shame of that cross even as He did, as we wait for the coming of the kingdom? Can we live the words of Peter’s confession when troubles strike? As the writer to the Hebrews put it, Christ endured the cross and despised the shame. Why did He do this? He did it for us; those for whom the Father had given Him. He did it so that we may live. May we follow Him all the days of our lives.

Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; n...
