The Birth of John the Baptist & Zechariah's Prophecy - Luke 1:57-80

06/14/2026

A lot happens in our Gospel Reading. Jesus heals the crowds and has that gut-wrenching compassion for them that He so often has. He also calls the twelve. First time these men are specifically set apart from the rest of the disciples following Jesus around. He gives them authority to cast out demons and heal diseases. Authority to go out and proclaim that the kingdom of heaven is at hand, that is, Jesus is here and He has come to fulfill all things. … It’s not going to be all rainbows and puppy dogs though. These twelve men (eleven minus Judas) will be thrown before kings. They will be flogged and even murdered. This is the life of an apostle: a servant isn’t above his master and so they too will be killed. But along the way, they will be given to proclaim the most wonderful news of salvation and life in Christ Jesus.

Worship Note for the Week
Jesus calls Matthew to be His disciple. He should have known better because Matthew was a tax collector and therefore a sinner. And the whole world knows that you don’t associate with sinners and you certainly don’t make one of them your disciple. But Jesus is a little bit different than the average guy and that is why He walks right up to Matthew while he is sitting in his tax booth (no confusing his profession, here) and tells him to follow Him. Jesus then proceeds to lead him to a house where a whole bunch of other sinners were at, or maybe Matthew led Jesus there, it doesn’t much matter. What matters is that Jesus is reclining at table with sinners, associating with them, making Himself one with them. And no, Jesus wasn’t participating in their sin, although that is what the Pharisees thought, but instead He was hanging out with the riffraff of society because Jesus only eats with sinners because sinners are the only ones who need Him. Jesus then says something about only the sick needing physicians, which is really just a way of saying, “Everybody needs Me, because everyone is sick and sinful, especially those who don’t think they are.”
