Message of the verses: “Now on
one of those days Jesus and His disciples got into a boat, and He said to them,
“Let us go over to the other side of the land.” So they launched
out. But as they were sailing along He fell asleep; and a fierce gale of wind
descended on the lake, and they beg an to be swamped and to be in danger. They
came to Jesus and woke Him up, saying, “Master, Master, we are
perishing!” And He got up and rebuked the wind and the surging waves, and
they stopped, and it became calm. And He said to them, “Where is your
faith?” They were fearful and amazed, saying to one another, “Who then is
this, that He commands even the winds and the water, and they obeyed Him?”
I mentioned at the end of this morning’s
SD that I ended in the middle of a paragraph which I don’t usually do, and so
this evening I will pick up where I left off this morning.
“At His
baptism the Father affirmed that Jesus was His beloved Son (3:21-22).”
(Luke 3:21-22)
“21
¶ Now when all the people were baptized,
and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heavens were opened,
22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him
in bodily form, like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved
Son; with you I am well pleased.”
“The
account of His temptation revealed His absolute authority over Satan (4:1-13),
and He also exercised that same authority over the demons (4:33-35, 41).”
(4:1-13)
“1 ¶ And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned
from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness 2 for forty days, being tempted by the devil.
And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry.
3 The devil said to him, “If you are the
Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” 4 And Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘Man
shall not live by bread alone.’” 5 And
the devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment
of time, 6 and said to him, "To you
I will give all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to
me, and I give it to whom I will. 7 If
you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours." 8 And Jesus answered him, "It is written,
"’You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you
serve.’" 9 And he took him to
Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, "If
you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, 10 for it is written, "’He will command his
angels concerning you, to guard you,’ 11
and “‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot
against a stone.’” 12 And Jesus answered
him, “It is said, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’” 13 And when the devil had ended every
temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time.”
(4:33-35, 41)
“33 And in the synagogue there was a man who had
the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice, 34 “Ha! What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth?
Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God.” 35 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent and
come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him down in their midst, he
came out of him, having done him no harm.”
“41 And demons also came out of many, crying,,
“You are the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and would not allow them to
speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.”
“Jesus also
demonstrated power over disease (4:40; 5:15, 17; 6:17-19; 7:1-10) and death
(7:11-15).”
(4:40; 5:15, 17; 6:17-19; 7:1-10)
“40 Now when the sun was setting, all those who
had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to him, and he laid
his hands on every one of them and healed them.’
“15 But now even more the report about him went
abroad, and great crowds gathered to hear him and to be healed of their
infirmities.”
“17 ¶ On one of those days, as he was teaching,
Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there, who had come from every
village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was
with him to heal.”
“17 And he came down with them and stood on a
level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of
people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, 18 who came to hear him and to be healed of
their
diseases.
And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. 19 And all the crowd sought to touch him, for
power came out from him and healed them all.”
“1
¶ After he had finished all his sayings
in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum. 2 Now a centurion had a servant who was sick
and at the point of death, who was highly valued by him. 3 When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent
to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and heal his servant. 4 And when they came to Jesus, they pleaded
with him earnestly, saying, "He is worthy to have you do this for him,
5 for he loves our nation, and he is the
one who built us our synagogue." 6
And Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the
centurion sent friends, saying to him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for
I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. 7 Therefore I did not presume to come to you.
But say the word, and let my servant be healed. 8 For I too am a man set under authority, with
soldiers under me: and I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’
and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it." 9 When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at
him, and turning to the crowd that followed him, said, “I tell you, not even in
Israel have I found such faith.” 10 And
when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant
well.”
(Luke 7:11-15)
“11
¶ Soon afterward he went to a town
called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him. 12 As he drew near to the gate of the town,
behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother,
and she was a widow, and a considerable crowd from the town was with her.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had
compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.” 14 Then he came up and touched the bier, and the
bearers stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.”
Look’s like one more SD will finish
this introduction.
