This paper discusses the book of Luke. The gospel emphasizes the Son of man (Luke 5:24) teaching in its biography of Jesus. Luke was most likely a two volume book of Luke 1:1-24:53 and Acts 1:1-28:31. Luke traveled with Paul learning about Jesus from many eye-witnesses of His life. The book is primarily written to the Greek (Gentiles) Christians. All scriptures are from the King James' version Bible.

Zechariah 6:12-13 "And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD: {13} Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both."

JESUS CHRIST IS A MEMBER OF THE GODHEAD AND ALSO THE HUMAN IDEAL SON OF MAN SEEKING THE LOST TO SAVE THEM

Luke 19:10 "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost."

Luke 1:1-4 "Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, {2} Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; {3} It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, {4} That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed."

Luke 4:18-19 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, {19} To preach the acceptable year of the Lord."

TO WHOM: Theophilus (meaning: friend or dear to God) & All Christians (Called out ones)

(21) {Luke 21:8-36} "And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. {9} But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. {10} Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: {11} And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. {12} But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake. {13} And it shall turn to you for a testimony. {14} Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: {15} For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. {16} And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. {17} And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. {18} But there shall not an hair of your head perish. {19} In your patience possess ye your souls. {20} And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. {21} Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. {22} For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. {23} But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. {24} And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. {25} And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; {26} Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. {27} And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. {28} And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. {29} And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; {30} When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. {31} So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. {32} Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. {33} Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. {34} And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. {35} For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. {36} Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man."

(22) {Luke 22:10-11} "And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. {11} And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?"

(23) {Luke 22:15} "And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:"

(24) {Luke 22:32} "But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren."

(25) {Luke 22:34} "And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me."

(26) {Luke 22:67} "Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:"

(27) {Luke 23:28-31} "But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. {29} For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. {30} Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us."

(29) {Luke 23:43} "And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise."

(30) {Luke 24:7} "Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again."

(31) {Luke 24:49} "And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luke 1:14 "And thou shalt have [ joy ] and gladness; and many shall [ rejoice ] at his birth."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. {Luke 1:14}

(2) For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. {Luke 1:44}

(3) And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. {Luke 2:10}

(4) Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets. {Luke 6:23}

(5) They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. {Luke 8:13}

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

(7) I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. {Luke 15:7}

(8) Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. {Luke 15:10}

(9) And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? {Luke 24:41}

(10) And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: {Luke 24:52}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Many shall rejoice at his birth: Because she was aged and the Lord allowed her to have a baby.

Luke 1:58 "And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had showed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her."

Luke 1:15 "For he shall be great in the sight of the /\ Lord /\, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be [ filled ] with the /\ Holy /\ /\ Ghost /\, even from his mother's womb."

Shall drink neither wine nor strong drink: John was a Nazarite who is dedicated to the Lord for ministry, does not cut his hair, go near dead people, or drink wine.

Numbers 6:4-5 "All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk. {5} All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow."

(7) Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon Jesus, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. {Luke 3:22}

(8) Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness {Luke 4:1}

(9) Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through the entire region round about {Luke 4:14}

(11) If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him {Luke 11:13}

(12) And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. {11} And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: {12} For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say {Luke 12:10-12}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Ghost from his mother’s womb {Luke 1:15}

(2) The word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness {Luke 3:2}

(3) John came preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins {Luke 3:3}

(4) John said to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? {Luke 3:7}

(6) Publicans came to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? {Luke 3:12}

(7) Soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? {Luke 3:14}

(8) All men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not {Luke 3:15}

(9) John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire {Luke 3:16}

(16) And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind? {Luke 7:24}

(18) For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. {Luke 7:33}

(19) They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again. {Luke 9:19}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

QUESTION/ANSWER: Does John having been filled with the Holy Ghost in the womb mean he is saved before birth? Does this imply election and predestination by God? {Luke 1:15/41}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"John shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb" {Luke 1:15}

"Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost" {Luke 1:41}

Clearly, John in Elizabeth’s womb responded to Jesus presents in Mary’s womb. The Holy Spirit had something to do with that. God chose John for a special ministry. John was not perfect, but Jesus words give him the highest grade for prophet which I believe means he is saved.

Luke 7:20 "When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?" John while in prison had some questions of his faith in Jesus and needed to be reassured by Jesus.

Luke 7:26-28 "But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet. {27} This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. {28} For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he."

This word is properly used only with reference to God's plan or purpose of salvation. The Greek word rendered "predestinate" is found only in these six passages, Acts 4:28; Romans 8:29, 30; 1 Corinthians 2:7; Ephesians 1:5, 11; and in all of them it has the same meaning. They teach that the eternal, sovereign, immutable, and unconditional decree or "determinate purpose" of God governs all events.

This doctrine of predestination or election is beset with many difficulties. It belongs to the "secret things" of God. But if we take the revealed word of God as our guide, we must accept this doctrine with all its mysteriousness, and settle all our questionings in the humble, devout acknowledgment, "Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight."

For the teaching of Scripture on this subject let the following passages be examined in addition to those referred to above; Genesis 21:12; Ex. 9:16; 33:19; Deuteronomy 10:15; 32:8; Joshua 11:20; 1 Samuel 12:22; 2 Chronicles 6:6; Psalms. 33:12; 65:4; 78:68; 135:4; Isaiah 41:1-10; Jeremiah. 1:5; Mark 13:20; Luke 22:22; John 6:37; 15:16; 17:2, 6, 9; Acts 2:28; 3:18; 4:28; 13:48; 17:26; Romans 9:11, 18, 21; 11:5; Ephesians 3:11; 1 Thessalonians 1:4; 2 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 1:9; Titus 1:2; 1 Peter 1:2. (See DECREES OF GOD; ELECTION.)

Hodge has well remarked that, "rightly understood, this doctrine (1) exalts the majesty and absolute sovereignty of God, while it illustrates the riches of his free grace and his just displeasure with sin. (2.) It enforces upon us the essential truth that salvation is entirely of grace. That no one can either complain if passed over, or boast himself if saved. (3.) It brings the inquirer to absolute self-despair and the cordial embrace of the free offer of Christ. (4.) In the case of the believer who has the witness in himself, this doctrine at once deepens his humility and elevates his confidence to the full assurance of hope" (Outlines).

John 15:16 "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you." JESUS CHOSE THE ELECT TO HAVE FRUIT THAT WILL REMAIN

Romans 9:11 "(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)" THE ELECT’S BIRTH AND EXISTENCE DOES NOT PRODUCE THE OUTCOME, ONLY GOD

Ephesians 1:4 "According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:" THIS, ROMANS 9:11, & 1 PETER 1:20 ALL SHOW THAT IT IS PREDESTINATED (PLAN OF GOD) BEFORE BIRTH OR CREATION THAT DETERIMINE THE ELECT’S SALVATION

Ephesians 2:10 "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." EVEN THE ELECT’S WORKS ARE PREDESTINATED BEFORE HIS BIRTH.

1 Peter 1:20 "Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,"

2 Peter 1:8-10 "For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. {9} But he that lacketh these things blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. {10} Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:"

THE PROBLEM IS WE DO NOT KNOW IF WE ARE ELECTED. THE CHRISTIAN MUST DO EVERYTHING HE CAN AS A CHRISITAN AND KNOW HIS FAITH IN JESUS RIGHTEOUSNESS (WORKS) ARE IMPUTED TO HIM. HE HAS NO RIGHTEOUSNESS OF HIS OWN. GRACE IS GOD GIVEN JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER GIFT FROM GOD.

QUESTION/ANSWER: What was important about John not drinking wine etc? He is a Nazarite. {Luke 1:15}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luke 1:15 "For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb."

A Nazarite was only found in the Old Testament. He is dedicated by a vow to a ministry of separation unto God. He remains clean, does not cut his hair, does not go near dead people, and does not drink wine.

Judges 13:7 "But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

QUESTION/ANSWER: Why were John, his father Zacharias, and his mother Elisabeth filled with the Holy Ghost? {Luke 1:15/41/67}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luke 1:15 "For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb."

Luke 1:41 "And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:"

Luke 1:67 "And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,"

The Holy Spirit outpouring was mainly limited to prophecies in the Old Testament. These people are still under the Old Testament guidelines and used the gift of God’s Spirit to prophesy.

Judges 6:34 "But the spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after him." The Prophet needed the Spirit to write his Bible book.

1 Samuel 10:10-11 "And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.{11} And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?" God’s Spirit upon Saul

Psalms 51:9-12 "Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. {10} Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. {11} Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. {12} Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit." After David sinned, he requested God not take away the Holy Spirit.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luke 1:16 "And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the /\ Lord /\ their /\ God /\."

1 Kings 18:37 "Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again."

Matthew 21:32 "For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him."

See my paper: "The One God - The Shama" THE KEY BIBLE SCRIPTURE FOR ONE GOD IS DEUTERONOMY 6:4. THE WORD FOR GOD IS A PLURALITY, & THE WORD FOR ONE IS A COMPOUND UNITY. THIS IS THE CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE FOR GOD WHO IS A TRIUNITY PLURALITY ONE UNITY for more information on this subject.

Luke 1:17 "And he shall go before /\ him /\ in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the /\ Lord /\."

Matthew 17:10-12 "And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? {11} And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. {12} But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them."

Luke 1:18 "And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years." Similar to Abraham statement

Luke 1:19 "And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of /\ God /\; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to show thee these glad tidings."

I am Gabriel: I am Gabriel that stands in the presence of God: Angel for Israel announcing God’s plan:

Daniel 9:21 "Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation."

Luke 2:10-11 "And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. {11} For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."

Luke 1:20 "And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season." Punishment for his lack of faith and a sign to all others of God’s control.

Luke 1:21 "And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple."

Luke 1:22 "And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless."

Thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple:

Acts 9:5-8 "And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. {6} And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. {7} And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man. {8} And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus."

Luke 1:23 "And [ it came to pass ], that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house." His ministry period of serving the temple was over.

Luke 1:24 "And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,"

Luke 1:25 "Thus hath the /\ Lord /\ dealt with me in the days wherein /\ he /\ looked on me, to take away my reproach among men." Of not having a child.

Genesis 21:2 "For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him."

WHERE: Mary’s announcement of birth of Jesus in city of Galilee named Nazareth

Luke 1:26 "And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from /\ God /\ unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,"

Luke 1:27 "To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary."

To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph: Mary, was still a virgin, who never had a sexual relationship before Jesus birth.

Isaiah 7:14 "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."

Matthew 1:18-19 "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. {19} Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily."

See my paper: "Mary" MARY, JESUS MOTHER, IS NOT GOD'S MOTHER. SHE SINNED, HAD SEVERAL CHILDREN & WAS SAVED. for more information on this subject.

See my paper: "Virgin" VIRGIN MARY, JESUS IS BORN TO VIRGIN WOMAN MOTHER, SHE HAD SEVERAL CHILDREN AFTER JESUS. for more information on this subject.

(6) And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God {Luke 1:35}

(7) And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her {Luke 1:38}

(8) And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda {Luke 1:39}

(9) And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost {Luke 1:41}

(10) And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb {Luke 1:42}

(11) And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? {Luke 1:43}

(12) For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy {Luke 1:44}

(15) For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed {Luke 1:48}

(16) And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house {Luke 1:56}

(17) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child {Luke 2:5}

(18) And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger {Luke 2:16}

(19) But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart {Luke 2:19}

(20) And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against {Luke 2:34}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

QUESTION/ANSWER: Mary is espoused to Joseph before they were married, and why did Joseph need a bill of divorce? Did they get married and have a ceremony? {Luke 1:27}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Joseph and Mary married before he took her to Bethlehem. They most likely had a Jewish marriage ceremonial. Joseph marriage means Jesus is born to an earthly father where the Jewish tribe line of Judah and David is given. Joseph is the step father of Jesus and legal parent as this occurred before Jesus birth. The father supplies the name to the child Jesus. See Luke 1:63 where Zacharias gives John his name

Matthew 1:18-20, 24-25 "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. {19} Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. {20} But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. {24} Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: {25} And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS."

Luke 4:22 "And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?" Jesus was born after Joseph and Mary married.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luke 1:28 "And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the /\ Lord /\ is with thee: blessed art thou among women." Highly favoured (Grace) as mother of Jesus

Luke 1:30 "And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God." Mary found favour (Grace)

Ephesians 1:6 "To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved." Believers made acceptable (Grace)

Luke 1:41 "And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: {42} And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb." Elisabeth filled with Holy Ghost call Mary blessed among women

Luke 11:27-28 "And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. {28} But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it." Women says blessed is Mary that bare Jesus and Jesus (he) response was blessed is hearer/keeper of word of God.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

QUESTION/ANSWER: Does every generation still call Mary blessed (Roman Catholic)? {Luke 1:28/42/48}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luke 1:42 "And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb."

Luke 1:48 "For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed."

It is too bad the Roman Catholic Church has wrong teachings about Mary. If we ignore Roman Catholic’s, then Mary would be blessed being the mother of the man Jesus, and she still be blessed. The Christian who studies the Word of God and keep it is also blessed.

Luke 2:34-35 "And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; {35} (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed." Mary will suffer seeing Jesus crucified.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luke 1:29 "And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be."

Luke 1:30 "And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with /\ God /\."

Luke 2:40 "And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

QUESTION/ANSWER: Why is grace (favor with God) not in Matthew or Mark? {Luke 1:30}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Favor with God is equal to grace. Certainly, Matthew and Mark include scriptures that show God’s grace such as Jesus teachings, healings, death and resurrection. The word grace is however, not found in these two books.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luke 1:31 "And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a M son M, and shalt call M his M name M JESUS M." Jesus means God saves

Isaiah 7:14 "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." Immanual means with us is God

Isaiah 9:6 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."

Luke 1:34 "Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? {35} And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God." Mary is a virgin who has never engaged in a sexual union with a man. The father of Jesus is the Holy Ghost. Mary is the mother of the man Jesus and not the mother of God (either the Holy Ghost of the Father.)Mary is not divine of god-like, but a human female being chosen by God for a job of raisen the truly human Jesus who is also equally trult divine.

Isaiah 9:6-7 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. {7} Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this."

(1) And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. {Luke 1:33}

(2) And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. {Luke 4:5}

(3) And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. {Luke 11:2}

(4) But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. {Luke 11:17}

(5) If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. {Luke 11:18}

(6) Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. {Luke 12:32}

(7) He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. {Luke 19:12}

(8) And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. {Luke 19:15}

(9) Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: {Luke 21:10}

(10) And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; {Luke 22:29}

(11) That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. {Luke 22:30}

(12) And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. {Luke 23:42}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

QUESTION/ANSWER: Does the Jewish kingdom continue forever? {Luke 1:32/33}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Jews are God’s chosen people forever. The Church did not move them from that unique position among peoples. Jesus, the man, is still a Jew. This Jewish promise continues into the kingdom age. The Gentiles Christians are grafted into Jewish nation.

Genesis 17:7 "And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee." Forever

Isaiah 66:21-22 "And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the LORD. {22} For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain." Forever

Romans 11:18-25 "Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. {19} Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. {20} Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: {21} For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. {22} Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. {23} And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. {24} For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? {25} For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luke 1:34 "Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?" No sexual relationship between Mary and any human. God the Holy Spirit & God the Father is the father of Jesus.

WAY: God allows a Virgin (Mary) to have a baby boy (Jesus) without a man by the Holy Ghost

Luke 1:35 "And the angel answered and said unto her, The /\ Holy /\ /\ Ghost /\ shall come upon thee, and the power of the /\ Highest /\ shall overshadow thee: therefore also that M holy M thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the M Son M of /\ God /\."

Matthew 1:18 "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost."

See my paper: "Godhead Relationship" HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH EACH MANIFESTATION OF THE GODHEAD FOR FULFILLMENT, NOT ONLY JESUS. for more information on this subject.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

QUESTION/ANSWER: Is the Holy Ghost the father of Jesus? Jesus refers to his father as God the Father? {Luke 1:35}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Holy Spirit and also God the Father is Jesus earthly Father since there is only one Triunity Godhead. This is a large topic which needs many scriptures. See my paper: “Triunity – Father, Son, & Holy Spirit” for more details and scriptures information on this subject below:

I know that one can’t compare the Triunity Godhead to any earthly material, but I will try nonetheless to help people understand the Triunity Godhead.

Water (H2O) can be found in three states: liquid, solid, and gas. If you take liquid water and boil it, you have both liquid and gases water states. If you drop a water ice cube into the liquid-gases mixture you have water in three states at the same time.

This could be compared to the Triunity Godhead of the one God existence in all three manifestations (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) at the very same time.

See my paper: "Triunity: Father, Son, & Holy Spirit" GOD IS A QUALITATIVE ONE TRIUNITY NOT TRIUNE: THREE SEPARATE PERSONS. for more information on this subject.

Luke 1:38 "And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the /\ Lord /\; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her." Handmaid is a female slave.

Romans 6:13 "Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God."

Luke 1:39 "And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;"

WHY: Both John (means Jehovah shows favor) and Jesus will provide super-natural ministries

Luke 1:41 "And [ it came to pass ], that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was [ filled ] with the /\ Holy /\ /\ Ghost /\:"

Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: Zacharias and John the Baptist (before his birth he was saved) also were filled with the Holy Ghost. God predestinated them to be saved.

Luke 1:43 "And whence is this to me, that the mother of my /\ Lord /\ should come to me?" Mary is the mother of Jesus not God’s mother.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

QUESTION/ANSWER: Does mother of my Lord mean Mary is the mother of God? {Luke 1:31/43}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luke 1:43 "And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?"

Mary is the biological mother of the human man Jesus. In the Jewish religion, the child becomes Jewish through his mother. Jesus is also true God and always existed. Mary is not the mother of God – Divine Son Jesus.

The Roman Catholic use of the mother of God is false as shown in her statement “my Saviour”, making her a sinner like all humans. Also God the Father and the Holy Spirit do not have Mary as their mother.

Luke 1:47 "And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." Mary needed a savior since she is a sinner like all other humans.

See my paper: "Mary" MARY, JESUS MOTHER, IS NOT GOD'S MOTHER. SHE SINNED, HAD SEVERAL CHILDREN & WAS SAVED. for more information on this subject.

Since Mary was born from the seed of Adam, who sinned for all mankind that followed, she is also a sinner by birth.

Luke 1:60"And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John." The name John means Lord of grace or whom the Lord graciously gave.

After the name of his father..He shall be called John: Usually, the father named the child on the eighth day when they circumcised the boy.

Leviticus 12:3 "And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised."

Luke 1:13 "But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John."

John, whose name means Lord of grace,is a witnessof Jesus ministry change from law to grace.

Luke 1:62 "And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called." They asked the father, for the child’s name, who usually gives the name in the religious ceremonial service.

Luke 2:5 "To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with M child M."

Joseph marriage means Jesus is born to an earthly father where the Jewish tribe line of Judah and David is given. Joseph is the step father of Jesus and legal parent as this occurred before Jesus birth. The father supplies the name to the child Jesus. See Luke 1:63 where Zacharias gives John his name

Whence then hath this man all these things?" Mary is the virgin mother of Jesus by the Holy Spirit. Joseph is Jesus adopted father.

Luke 2:8 "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night."

Luke 2:9 "And, lo, the angel of the /\ Lord /\ came upon them, and the { glory } of the /\ Lord /\ shone round about them: and they were sore afraid."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luke 2:51 "And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart."

Matthew 3:15 "And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Bible stated in Genesis 2:17: "... for in the day that thou" sins "thou shalt surely die." Jesus had to fullfilled all of God's law requirements. Jesus baptism, as man's substitute, vindicates the justice of the law that requires the sinner's death. Everything Jesus did was pleasing to God as he was lead by the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 3:15 "And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him."

Luke 2:21-24 "And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. {22} And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord; {23} (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;) {24} And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons." Jesus fulfilled every law of God including Water Baptism like circumcision.

John 13:15 "For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you."

Mark 1:12-13 "And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness. {13} And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

QUESTION/ANSWER: Why did Jesus need to be in the wilderness at the start of His ministry? {Luke 4:1-13}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Israel spent, not forty days, but forty years in a wilderness, where there were no subsistence, not starving, but provided for by God to prove to every age that human support depends not on bread, but upon God's word of promise. Jesus life would follow every Israel and human example during his life to show his dependence on God providing.

Hebrews 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luke 4:2 "Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days M he M did eat nothing: and when they were ended, M he M afterward hungered."

Hebrews 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. {3} And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. {4} And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. {5} And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, showed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. {6}And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. {Luke 4:2-6}

(2) And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve {Luke 4:8}

(3) And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season. {Luke 4:13}

(4) And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice, {34} Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God. {35} And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not. {Luke 4:33-35}

(5) For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil {Luke 7:33}

(6) (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.) {30} And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him. {Luke 8:29-30}

(7) And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven {Luke 10:18}

(8) And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered {Luke 11:14}

(9) If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. {19} And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges {Luke 11:18-19}

(10) And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? {Luke 13:16}

(11) Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. {4} And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them {Luke 22:3-4}

(12) And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: {32} But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren {Luke 22:31-32}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luke 4:3 "And the devil said unto M him M, If thou be the M Son M of /\ God /\, command this stone that it be made bread." Devil is real identity.

Luke 4:4 "And M Jesus M answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every [ word ] of /\ God /\."

It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God:

Deuteronomy 8:3 "And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live."

Matthew 4:4 "But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

QUESTION/ANSWER: Why did Jesus use scriptures to answer Satan? {Luke 4:4/8/12}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Isaiah 55:11 "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." The Bible, scriptures, are God's words.

Hebrews 4:12 "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luke 4:5 "And the devil, taking M him M up into an high mountain, showed unto M him M all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time."

Luke 4:6 "And the devil said unto M him M, All this power will I give M Thee M, and the { glory } of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it." Devil has power.

Devil said all this power will I give thee..for that is delivered unto me and to whomsoever I will I give it:

2 Corinthians 11:14 "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."

Luke 4:7 "If M Thou M therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine." Worship only given to God.

Luke 4:8 "And M Jesus M answered and said unto him, Get thee behind M me M, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the /\ Lord /\ thy /\ God /\, and /\ him /\ only shalt thou serve."

Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve:

Deuteronomy 6:13-14 "Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name. {14} Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;"

James 4:7 "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."

1 Peter 5:8-9 "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: {9} Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Devil uses scriptures for wrong purpose, since he is a liar and father of all liars.

John 8:44 "Ye are of <your> father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luke 4:9 "And he brought M him M to Jerusalem, and set M him M on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto M him M, If thou be the M Son M of /\ God /\, cast M thyself M down from hence:"

Luke 4:10 "For it is written, /\ He /\ shall give /\ his /\ angels charge over M thee M, to keep M thee M:"

Luke 4:11 "And in their hands they shall bear M thee M up, lest at any time M thou M dash M thy M foot against a stone."

Luke 4:12 "And M Jesus M answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the /\ Lord /\ thy /\ God /\."

Luke 4:13 "And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from M him M for a season." Period of time

Luke 4:14 "And M Jesus M returned in the power of the /\ Spirit /\ into Galilee: and there went out a fame of M him M through all the region round about."

Luke 4:1 "And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,"

(3) And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. {2} And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days? {3} And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungered, and they which were with him; {4} How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the showbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone? {5} And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. {6} And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered. {7} And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him. {8} But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth. {9} Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it? {Luke 6:1-9}

(4) And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath {Luke 13:10}

(5) And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. {15} The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? {16} And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? {Luke 13:14-16}

(6) 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. {2} And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy. {3} And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? {4} And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go; {5} And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day? {Luke 14:1-5}

(7) And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. {55} And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. {56} And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment {Luke 23:54-56}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent {Luke 4:43}

(2) And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God {Luke 6:20}

(3) For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he {Luke 7:28}

(4) And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him {Luke 8:1}

(5) And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand {Luke 8:10}

(6) And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick {Luke 9:2}

(7) And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing {Luke 9:11}

(8) But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God {Luke 9:27}

(9 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. {61} And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. {62} And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God {Luke 9:60-62}

(10) And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. {10} But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, {11} 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 {Luke 10:9-11}

(11) But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. {18} If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. {19} And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. {20} But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you {Luke 11:17-20}

(12) But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. {32} Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom {Luke 12:31-32}

(13) Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it? {19} It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it. {20} And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? {Luke 13:18-20}

(14) There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. {29} And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. {Luke 13:28-29}

(15) And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God {Luke 14:15}

(16) The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it {Luke 16:16}

(17) And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: {21} Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you {Luke 17:20-21}

(18) But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. {17} Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein {Luke 18:16-17}

(19) And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! {25} For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God {Luke 18:24-25}

(20) And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, {30} Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting {Luke 18:29-30}

(21) So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand {Luke 21:31}

(22) For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. {17} And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: {18} For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come {Luke 22:16-18}

(23) (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. {52} This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus {Luke 23:51-52}

QUESTION/ANSWER: Why is Jesus telling the healed person not to tell others about his healing? {Luke 5:14-16}

Mark 1:45 "But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter." Jesus knew the results of this great healing would limit his movement.

The power of the Lord was present to heal them: Sometimes because of limited faith Jesus healing were limited

12:22-34, 12:57-59, 13:24-27, 14:34-35, 16:18}; {MATTHEW 5:1-7:29}; {MARK 9:50, 10:1-12}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THEME: Inner attitude of the heart as compared with outward conformity. The Christian has no rules or laws. He has Biblical principles. He is not to break the law, since God's law is perfect for all times.

Matthew 5:17-18 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. {18} For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."

Romans 3:19-22 "Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. {20} Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law <is> the knowledge of sin. {21} But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; {22} Even the righteousness of God <which is> by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:" Law shows our sins.

PURPOSE: This one scripture does the law and prophets which is the equivalent to the entire Bible (Old Testament was only Bible at this time).

Matthew 7:12 "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."

Luke 6:31 "And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise."

WHO: God written mostly by Bible authors Matthew, Luke, John, Peter, and Paul

WHAT: We can not keep the law perfectly, but we can receive from Jesus of His accomplishments through our faith. Jesus showed, in the sermon, that the law must be fulfilled in the Christian's heart.

Luke 16:16 "The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. {17} And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail."

Colossians 2:14 "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;" The law was removed for Christians.

WHY: Christians who lost their witness are good for nothing. Salt: To preserve (Christian influence), enhance the flavor (add Christian values) and purify (clean) the people around us. Christian Light shine: God should receive the glory for the Christians deeds which are the evidences of their salvation. The people around should see Christ in our life. Jesus is the light of the world (John 8:12). Light (Jesus) guides us on the correct path. He who walks the walk, it can not be hid.

Matthew 5:13-16 "Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. {14} Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. {15} Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. {16} Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

Mark 9:49-50 "For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. {50} Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another."

Luke 14:34-35 "Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? {35} It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."

WAY: This one scripture does the law and prophets which is the equivalent to the entire Bible (Old Testament was only Bible at this time).

Matthew 7:12 "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." The Christians does his part first.

Luke 6:31 "And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise."

Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

Luke 12:31 "But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you."

Matthew 19:29 "And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life."

Mark 10:29-30 "And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, {30} But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life."

Luke 18:29-30 "And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, {30} Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting."

Matthew 5:1 "And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:"

Luke 6:17 "And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;" Possible not at mountain top, but at a level portion.

Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

Matthew 6:19 "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:"

Matthew 6:20 "But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: {21} For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

Luke 12:33 "Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. {34} For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

Luke 6:17 "And M he M came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of M his M disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear M him M, and to be [ healed ] of their diseases;"

Matthew 8:14-17 "And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. {15} And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. {16} When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: {17} That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses."

Matthew 14:35-36 "And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased; {36} And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole."

Mark 5:30 "And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?"

JESUS GIVES SERMON ON THE MOUNT: {6:20-49, 11, 12} Also found in {Matthew 5:1-7:29}

BEATITUDES: {Matthew 5:3 - 5:12} Beatitude means happy. The first four Matthew's Beatitudes deal with inner life & the remainder deal with outer life or relations with others. A reward is provided with each. Luke blessings are followed by four woes.

(2) SERMON ON THE PLAIN/MOUNTAIN: BEATITUDES LUKES BLESSINGS: {Luke 6:20-23}

Luke 6:20-23 "And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. {21} Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. {22} Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. {23} Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets."

Luke 6:20 "And M he M lifted up M his M eyes on M his M disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the [ kingdom ] of /\ God /\."

Luke 6:21 "Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be [ filled ]. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh."

Matthew 5:6 "Blessed <are> they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled."

Hunger for you shall be filled: Desire to have Jesus' righteousness to be filled

See my paper: "Kingdom of God & Heaven" JESUS CAME TO ESTABLISH HIS KINGDOM. WHAT IS HIS KINGDOM? HOW CAN IT BE ENTERED? for more information on this subject.

Luke 6:22 "Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the M Son M of man's sake."

Matthew 5:11 "Blessed are ye, when <men> shall revile you, and persecute <you>, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake." For the right cause: Christ, not our issues.

Reproach you for my sake: In Jesus stead, since He is not here, the Overcomer Christian will suffers in His place for Him.

Luke 6:23 "[ Rejoice ] ye in that day, and leap for [ joy ]: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets."

Matthew 5:12 "Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you."

Your reward is great in heaven: The Matthew Sermon on the Mount only has blessings whereas the Luke version of the sermon includes woes.

(3) SERMON ON THE PLAIN/MOUNTAIN: LUKES BEATITUDES WOES: {Luke 6:24-26}

Luke 6:24-26 "But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. {25} Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. {26} Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets." Seeking wealth, self satisfaction, or prideful reputation are of the flesh.

Luke 6:24 "But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation."

Luke 6:25 "Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep."

Luke 6:26 "Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets."

Matthew 5:46 "For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?" Love all people.

See my paper: "Love" DEFINITION OF LOVE; LOVE IN ACTION IS CHARITY; BIBLE LOVE CHAPTERS; EXAMPLES OF LOVE; LOVE COMMANDS for more information on this subject.

Bless them that curse you..despite you: The same principles Jesus preached in the sermon are found also in the epistles.

Romans 2:4 "Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?"

Romans 9:22 "<What> if God, willing to show <his> wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:"

(5) SERMON ON THE PLAIN/MOUNTAIN: RESPONSE {Luke 6:29-30, 12:33-34} Do more. God will provide the replacements.

Luke 6:29-30 "And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also. {30} Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again."

Luke 6:29 "And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also."

Matthew 5:39 "But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also."

Luke 6:30 "Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again."

Matthew 5:40 "And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have <thy> cloak also."

Matthew 5:42 "Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away."

Matthew 5:47 "And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more <than others>? do not even the publicans so?"

Smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other .. give to him that asketh of you:

(6) SERMON ON THE PLAIN/MOUNTAIN: GOLDEN RULE {Luke 6:31} Principle: One way to live Bible

This one scripture completes the law and prophets which is the equivalent to the entire Bible (Old Testament was only Bible at this time).

Luke 6:31 "And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise."

Matthew 7:12 "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." The Christians does his part first.

Luke 6:32-35 "For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. {33} And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. {34} And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. {35} But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil"

Luke 6:32 "For if ye love them which love you, what [ thank ] have ye? for sinners also love those that love them."

Matthew 5:46 "For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?" Love all people.

Matthew 5:47 "And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?"

1 Corinthians 13:4-8, 13 "Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, {5} Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; {6} Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; {7} Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. {8} Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. {13} And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity."

Luke 6:33 "And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what [ thank ] have ye? for sinners also do even the same."

Luke 6:34 "And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what [ thank ] have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(7) SERMON ON THE PLAIN/MOUNTAIN: LOVING KINDNESS {Luke 6:35-36}

Luke 6:35-36 "But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. {36} Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful."

Luke 6:35 "But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the /\ Highest /\: for /\ he /\ is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil."

For he (God) is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil: Loving kindness not grace which is given only to believers.

Be merciful as your Father is merciful: Mercy is not getting punishment we deserve. Grace (getting what we do not deserve) is what God give us.

Merciful: for they shall obtain mercy: Whole parable in Matthew 18:23-35. The Lord showed him a great mercy & he showed no mercy.

Matthew 18:32-34 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: {33} Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? {34} And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him."

Luke 6:36 "Be ye therefore [ merciful ], as your /\ Father /\ also is merciful."

Matthew 5:48 "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."

See my paper: "Sanctify" SANCTIFICATION PROCESS: GOD PREDESTINES THE CHRISTIAN AS SON OF GOD, SANCTIFIES OR SETS HIM APART FOR HIS PURPOSE, BEING MADE HOLY, GOING ON TO THE PERFECTION, MADE IN THE IMAGE OF CHRIST, BECOMES GOD-LIKE, MADE IN THE DIVINE NATURE AS HE MATURES for more information on this subject.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PRINCIPLES OF JUDGING: {Matthew 5:20, 7:1 - 7:5} {Luke 6:37-42} Principle: Judge rightly.

Luke 6:37-38 "Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: {38} Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again." Christians can judge sin, not the small issues. By their fruits you can know them. See Matthew 7:16 and 7:20.

Luke 6:37 "Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:"

Luke 6:38 "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again."

Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."

Romans 14:4 "Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand."Christians have Jesus as master.

Romans 14:10 "But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ."

Luke 6:41-42 "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? {42} Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye."

Luke 11:42 "But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone." This is true of the Christian also. Do all & trust God.

Galatians 6:7 "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Judgment for same problem.

James 2:10 "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one <point>, he is guilty of all."Only if a non-believer.

(1) Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye. {Luke 6:42}

(2) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them. {Luke 11:44}

(3) Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time? {Luke 12:56}

(4) The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? {Luke 13:15}

Luke 6:43-46 "For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. {44} For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. {45} A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. {46} And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?"

Luke 6:43 "For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit."

Matthew 7:16 "Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?"

Matthew 7:17 "Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit."

Galatians 5:22-23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, {23} Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."

Matthew 7:22 "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?"

Many will say, Lord, we prophesied, cast out devils, done works: They had a works religion, using Jesus's name, not a relationship.

Matthew 7:23 "And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

(13) SERMON ON THE PLAIN/MOUNTAIN: TWO fOUNDATIONS {Luke 6:47-49}

PRINCIPLES OF PERFORMANCE: { Matthew 7:24 - 7:27} {Luke 6:47-48} Principle: Obedience or do deeds. Sermon on the Mount is for today.

Luke 6:47-48 "Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will show you to whom he is like: {48} He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock."

Luke 6:47 "Whosoever cometh to M me M, and heareth M my M sayings, and doeth them, M I M will show you to whom he is like:"

Matthew 7:24 "Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:"

Whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them: Jesus is telling us today to do the word, not just a hear the sermon.

Luke 6:48 "He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock."

Matthew 7:25 "And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock."

Luke 6:49 "But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great."

Luke 6:49 "But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great."

Matthew 7:26 "And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:"

Matthew 7:27 "And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it."

James 1:22 "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luke 7:1 "Now when M he M had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, M he M entered into Capernaum."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum. {2} And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die. {3} And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant. {4} And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this: {5} For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue. {6} Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof: {7} Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed. {8} For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. {9} When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. {10} And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick. {Luke 7:1-10}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luke 7:2 "And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die."

Luke 7:3 "And when he heard of M Jesus M, he sent unto M him M the elders of the Jews, beseeching M him M that M he M would come and [ heal ] his servant."

Luke 7:4 "And when they came to M Jesus M, they besought M him M instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:"

Luke 7:6 "Then M Jesus M went with them. And when M he M was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to M him M, saying unto him, /\ Lord /\, trouble not M thyself M: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:" Jews were not allowed to go into a Gentiles house.

Luke 7:7 "Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto M thee M: but say in a word, and my servant shall be [ healed ]." He had faith that Jesus would heal him.

Luke 7:8 "For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it."

Luke 7:9 "When M Jesus M heard these things, M he M marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed M him M, M I M say unto you, M I M have not found so great [ faith ], no, not in Israel."

Matthew 14:31 "And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?"

Matthew 15:28 "Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour."

Luke 17:5 "And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith."

Romans 14:19-20 "And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb: {20} He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;"

2 Thessaloninans 1:3 "We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luke 7:10 "And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick."

Luke 7:11 "And [ it came to pass ] the day after, that M he M went into a city called Nain; and many of M his M disciples went with M him M, and much people."

Luke 7:12 "Now when M he M came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her."

Luke 7:15 "And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And M he M delivered him to his mother."

Luke 7:16 "And there came a fear on all: and they { glorified } /\ God /\, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That /\ God /\ hath visited /\ his /\ people."

Luke 7:17 "And this rumour of M him M went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about."

Luke 7:19 "And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to M Jesus M, saying, Art thou M he M that should come? or look we for another?" John in prison

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luke 7:19-29 "And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? {20} When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? {21} And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight. {22} Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. {23} And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. {24} And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind? {25} But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts. {26} But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet. {27} This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. {28} For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. {29} And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luke 7:20 "When the men were come unto M him M, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou M he M that should come? or look we for another?"

Luke 7:21 "And in that same hour M he M cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind M he M gave sight."

Luke 7:22 "Then M Jesus M answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached."

Luke 7:24 "And when the messengers of John were departed, M he M began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?"

Luke 7:25 "But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts."

Luke 7:26 "But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, M I M say unto you, and much more than a prophet."

Luke 7:27 "This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, /\ I /\ send /\ my /\ messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before M thee M."

Written send a messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee:

Isaiah 40:3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

Malachi 3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

Luke 7:28 "For M I M say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the [ kingdom ] of /\ God /\ is greater than he."

Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: John is the last Old Testament prophet.

Matthew 11:9-14 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. {10} For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. {11} Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. {12} And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. {13} For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. {14} And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.

Luke 7:40 "And M Jesus M answering said unto him, Simon, M I M have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, M Master M, say on."

Luke 7:41 "There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty."

[ THEREFORE ]: Therefore, which of the debtors, larger of smaller, will love the creditor the most

Luke 7:42 "And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?"

Luke 7:43 "Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And M he M said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged."

Luke 7:44 "And M he M turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? M I M entered into thine house, thou gavest M me M no water for M my M feet: but she hath washed M my M feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head."

Luke 7:46 "M My M head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed M my M feet with ointment."

Luke 7:47 "Wherefore M I M say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little."

Sowing of the seed parable in Matthew 13:18-23, Mark 4:3-20, and Luke 8:5-15

Rocks->Receives Word with joy->Believes for while->No roots->Persecution->Offended

If the person is a Christian, then he will love God & man. Faith works will follow. If they do not show these signs, it proves that they are not of the elect Christians.

Luke 8:5-15 "A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. {6} And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. {7} And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. {8} And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. {9} And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be? {10} And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. {11} Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. {12} Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. {13} They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. {14} And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. {15} But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience." Matthew 13:3-23

Four types of people are shown in this parable where the seed represents the Word of God. The non believer is type 1 group. The mere believer is types 2 group. The carnal Christian will not endure to the end is type 3 group. The Elect Christian will endure to the end is type 4 group.

1) Way side -> trodden down -> fowls devour it -> people hear Word -> Devil takes away Word -> out of their hearts -> lest they believe & be saved

The Sower Parable shows four groups of hearer of the Word. Non believers never receive the Word, the Devil takes the Word away from their heart, so they never believe or act on it. They are from the Sower Parable as group 1.

2) Rock -> sprung up -> withered away -> lack moisture -> Mere believer's hear the Word -> receive with joy -> no root -> for awhile believe -> in time of temptation -> fall away

There is a distinction between a mere believer who simply follows Christianity professes faith who receives the Word, acts on it, endures for a time, tempted, & falls away. They are from the Sower Parable as group 2.

3) Thorns -> sprung up -> thorns choked it -> Carnal worldly believer's heard Word -> go forth -> choked with cares and riches -> pleasures of this life -> bring no fruit -> to perfection

There are carnal followers of Christianity who receives the Word, acts on it, looked as if they were the Elect, endure for a time. However, the cares, riches, and deceitful pleasures of the world means they don't produce Christian faith fruits nor go on to perfection. They are from the Sower Parable as group 3.

4) Good ground -> sprang up -> bare fruit -> hundred fold -> Elect believer's with a honest and good heart -> heard the Word -> keep it -> bring forth faith fruits with patience

The Elect believer will receives the Word, act on it to the end, & bring forth fruit. The scriptures teach that Elect people will persevere because God will preserve them. They are from the Sower Paravle as group 4.

Luke 9:43 "And they were all amazed at the mighty power of /\ God /\. But while they wondered every one at all things which M Jesus M did, M he M said unto M his M disciples,"

Luke 9:44 "Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the M Son M of man shall be delivered into the hands of men."

Luke 9:45 "But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask M him M of that saying."

Luke 9:46 "Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest."

Luke 9:47 "And M Jesus M, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by M him M,"

Luke 9:48 "And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in M my M name receiveth M me M: and whosoever shall receive M me M receiveth /\ him /\ that sent M me M: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great."

Luke 9:49 "And John answered and said, M Master M, we saw one casting out devils in M thy M name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us."

We saw one casting out devils in name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us:

Luke 9:50 "And M Jesus M said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us."

Luke 9:51 "And [ it came to pass ], when the time was come that M he M should be received up, M he M stedfastly set M his M face to go to Jerusalem,"

Luke 9:52 "And sent messengers before M his M face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for M him M."

Luke 9:53 "And they did not receive M him M, because M his M face was as though he would go to Jerusalem."

Luke 9:54 "And when M his M 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?"

Luke 9:55 "But M he M turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of."

He turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of:

Luke 9:56 "For the M Son M of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to [ save ] them. And they went to another village."

Luke 9:57 "And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto M him M, /\ Lord /\, I will follow M thee M whithersoever M thou M goest."

Luke 9:58 "And M Jesus M said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the M Son M of man hath not where to lay M his M head."

Luke 9:59 "And M he M said unto another, Follow M he M. But he said, /\ Lord /\, suffer me first to go and bury my father."

Luke 9:60 "M Jesus M said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the [ kingdom ] of /\ God /\."

Luke 9:61 "And another also said, /\ Lord /\, I will follow M thee M; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house."

Luke 9:62 "And M Jesus M said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the [ kingdom ] of /\ God /\."

No man having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God:

Luke 10:2 "Therefore said M he M unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: [ pray ] ye therefore the /\ Lord /\ of the harvest, that M he M would send forth labourers into his harvest."

Luke 10:3 "Go your ways: behold, M I M send you forth as lambs among wolves."

Luke 10:4 "Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way."

Luke 10:5 "And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house."

Luke 10:6 "And if the M son M of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again."

Luke 10:7 "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 10:8 "And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:"

And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. {18} And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. {19} Behold, I give 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. {20} Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. {21} 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. {22} 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. {23} And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see: {24} 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 10:17-24}

(14) SERMON ON THE PLAIN/MOUNTAIN: LORD’S PRAYER {Luke 11:1-13} {Matthew 6:5-8}:

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. {2} And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. {3} Give us day by day our daily bread. {4} And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. {5} And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; {6} For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? {7} And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. {8} I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. {9} And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. {10} For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. {11} If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? {12} Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? {13} If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? {Luke 11:1-13}

PRINCIPLES OF PRAYER: {Luke 11:1-13} {Matthew 6:5 - 6:8} Prayer is a conversation or communication (dialogue of 2 sides) of our heart with God. It should not be general but specific and its purpose is to get God's will done. The intent should not be aimed at changing God's mind or purpose. It should include repentance, praise, worship, thanksgiving, interceding and our requests (We have the petitions when we prayed in faith). Prayer should include praying in Spirit with other tongues (Baptism of Holy Spirit: God's perfect prayer for each of us).

Matthew 6:5 "And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites <are>: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward." Man give them honor.

Matthew 6:6 "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly." God will Himself honor you openly for your gift.

Matthew 6:7 "But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen <do>: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking." Do not pray a sermon for people to hear, but to God.

Matthew 6:8 "Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him."

Colossians 4:12 "Epaphras, who is <one> of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God."

See my paper: "Prayer" PRESENTS PRAYER STEPS. THE LORD'S PRAYER AND OTHER NEW TESTAMENT PRAYER EXAMPLES SHOWN. for more information on this subject.

Luke 11:1-4 "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. {2} And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. {3} Give us day by day our daily bread. {4} And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil."

Luke 11:1 "And [ it came to pass ], that, as M he M was [ praying ] in a certain place, when M he M ceased, one of M his M disciples said unto M him M, /\ Lord /\, teach us to [ prayer ], as John also taught his disciples."

Luke 11:2 "And M he M said unto them, When ye [ pray ], say, Our /\ Father /\ which art in heaven, Hallowed be /\ thy /\ name. /\ Thy /\ [ kingdom ] come. M Thy M will be done, as in heaven, so in earth."

Matthew 6:9 "After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name."

Matthew 6:10 "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as <it is> in heaven."

Thy kingdom come: We ask God to help us accomplish His kingdom. The kingdom of God tells who runs it; Kingdom of Heaven tells where it is. It always existed with God as King. Jesus is King, within the Christians, of His present Kingdom. Jesus came to bring the kingdom. His second coming will have Him as king for the Millennium.

Luke 11:20 "But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you."

Luke 17:21 "Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you."

Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven: God's will is done. We ask God to help us do His will. Prayer is to pray in God's will.

Give us this day our daily bread: God will supply all things to His children.

Philippians 4:19 "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."

Luke 11:4 "And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil."

Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors: Jesus shows us an example from the parable in Matthew 18:23-35 Unmerciful Servant.

Mark 11:24-26 "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. {25} And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. {26} But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses."

Matthew 6:13 "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen."

See my paper: "Forgiveness of Sins" GOD FORGIVES OUR SINS THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS. for more information on this subject.

Lead us not into temptation: God does not tempt anyone. God allows Satan to test and tempt us.

Matthew 26:41 "Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed <is> willing, but the flesh <is> weak."

HOW TO USE YOUR FAITH FOR GOD'S PROMISES: The prayer, of faith, should be made in the name of Jesus. It should be in the will of God. A search of God's word on the subject should be made first. A large number of scriptures show God's promises. See my paper: "Faith" for many of the scriptures which cover most subjects. Since the subject is according to the will of God, we can pray with expectation for an immediate manifestation to result. If it does not come, we are to hold on to the request in faith. When you pray, your request should be made once for each subject. Any additional requests for the same subject would be made in un-belief. Prayer in the future, on that same subject, should be a praise and thanksgiving prayer for the finish work. Since the first prayer was done in faith, then the work is completed in the faith dimension. When God manifests the work, in this dimension, is in His timing. We are to believe it has been completed already.

CORRECT PERSISTENCE IS OK: We can pray thanksgiving for receiving the petition: in faith first and then when God manifests it.

Luke 11:5-13 "And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; {6} For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? {7} And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. {8} I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. {9} And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. {10} For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. {11} If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if <he ask> a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? {12} Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? {13} If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? " Pray at all times & for all needs. Not many words are to be used. Not repeating requests.

Luke 18:1-8 "And he spake a parable unto them <to this end>, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; {2} Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: {3} And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. {4} And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; {5} Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. {6} And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. {7} And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? {8} I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" We should ask in faith. Then our prayer should be thanks for receiving the items requested. 2nd prayer is a lack of faith.

Luke 11:11 "If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?"

Matthew 7:9 "Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?" Only have best desires for son.

Luke 11:13 "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly /\ Father /\ give the /\ Holy /\ /\ Spirit /\ to them that ask /\ him /\?"

Matthew 7:11 "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?"

James 1:17 "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."

John 14:16 "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;"

Matthew 5:24 "Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift."

Reconcile to thy brother, then offer thy gift: First make your relationship with your brother correct by apologizing & forgiving.

And he said, A certain man had two sons: {12} And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. {13} And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. {14} And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. {15} And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. {16} And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. {17} And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! {18} I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, {19} And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. {20} And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. {21} And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. {22} But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: {23} And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: {24} For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. {25} Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing. {26} And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. {27} And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. {28} And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him. {29} And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: {30} But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. {31} And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. {32} It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found. {Luke 15:11-32}

(20) SERMON ON THE PLAIN/MOUNTAIN: DIVORCE {Luke 16:18} {Matthew 5:27-28, 31-32} {Mark 10:2-12}

Luke 16:18 "Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from <her> husband committeth adultery." They are still married.

Matthew 5:27-28 "Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: {28} But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." Adultery committed by thought, word, or deed.

Matthew 5:31-32 "It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: {32} But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery." Fornication: Maybe the same as Deuteronomy 24:1's uncleanness.

Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery:

Matthew 19:3-9 "The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? {4} And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made <them> at the beginning made them male and female, {5} And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? {6} Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. {7} They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? {8} He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. {9} And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except <it be> for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: & whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery." Similar to the Mark 10:2-12 account. God allowed, by the laws of Moses for divorce since hard hearted people were committing adultery which had a death penalty. The law did not require divorce. The law of Moses just regulated the divorce-remarriage.

Mark 10:2-12 "And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. {3} And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? {4} And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. {5} And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. {6} But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. {7} For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; {8} And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. {9} What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. {10} And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. {11} And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. {12} And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery." The same case was for woman divorcing.

There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: {20} And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, {21} And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. {22} And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; {23} And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. {24} And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. {25} But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. {26} And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. {27} Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: {28} For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. {29} Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. {30} And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. {31} And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. {Luke 16:19-31}

Luke 16:26 "And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence."

Luke 16:27 "Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:"

Luke 16:28 "For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment."

Luke 16:29 "Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them."

Luke 16:30 "And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will [ repent ]."
