8:54 PM
My
Worship Time Focus:
PT-1 “Merch
Made Available”
Bible
Reading & Meditation Reference: Luke
9:51
Message of the verse: “When
the days were approaching for His ascension, He was determined to go to
Jerusalem;”
I believe that this section will take me more than one
day to get through it because of all the verses I have to look up.
MacArthur writes “The phrase when
the days signifies that an indefinite period of time has passed since the
incident recorded in 9:46-50. However
this incident probably did not take place too long afterward. It marks a major turning point in Luke’s
narrative of Christ’s life and ministry.
Up to this point, Luke has focused on Jesus’ coming, detailing the
angelic announcement of His birth to Mary, the account of His birth, the
incident in the temple when He was twelve, His baptism by John, His temptation
by Satan, and the first two and a half years of His ministry as Messiah,
reaching its pinnacle at the transfiguration.
“But at this point, the whole tenor
of Luke’s gospel changes. The focus is
no longer on Jesus’ coming, but on His going.
The Galilean ministry is over, and He is on His way for the final time
to His passion in Jerusalem; Although
the Lord would, in the few intervening months of His Judean ministry, make
brief return visits to Galilee (eg.17:11-37), Galilee was no longer His base of
operations.”
(eg.17:11-37)
“11 ¶ On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along
between Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as
he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance 13 and lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus,
Master, have mercy on us.” 14 When he
saw them he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they
went they were cleansed. 15 Then one of
them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud
voice; 16 and he fell on his face at
Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan. 17 Then Jesus answered, "Were not ten
cleansed? Where are the nine? 18 Was no
one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?" 19 And he said to him, “Rise and go your way;
your faith has made you well.” 20 ¶ Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom
of God would come, he answered them, "The kingdom of God is not coming in
ways that can be observed, 21 nor will
they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in
the midst of you." 22 And he said
to the disciples, "The days are coming when you will desire to see one of
the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 And they will say to you, ‘Look, there!’ or
‘Look, here!’ Do not go out or follow them. 24
For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the
other, so will the Son of Man be in his day. 25
But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26 Just as it was in the days of Noah,
so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27
They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage,
until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them
all. 28 Likewise, just as it was in the days
of Lot—they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and
building, 29 but on the day when Lot
went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all—
30 so will it be on the day when the Son
of Man is revealed. 31 On that day, let
the one who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to
take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back.
32 Remember Lot’s wife. 33 Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose
it, but whoever loses his life will keep it. 34
I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed. One will be
taken and the other left. 35 There will
be two women grinding together. One will be taken and the other left."

And they said to him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the corpse
is, there the vultures will gather.”
“Much of
the material in this travelogue (cf. vv. 52, 57; 10:1, 38; 13:22, 33; 17:11;
18:35; 19:1, 11, 28-29) of Christ’s final journey to the cross (9:51-19:27) is
unique to Luke’s gospel. Of the other
gospel writers, only John records features from the months in Judea (John
7-11).”
(cf. vv. 52, 57; 10:1, 38; 13:22, 33;
17:11; 18:35; 19:1, 11, 28-29)
“52 And he sent messengers ahead of him, who went
and entered a village of the Samaritans, to make preparations for him.”
“57 ¶ As they were going along the road, someone
said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.”
“1 ¶ After this the Lord appointed seventy-two
others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place
where he himself was about to go.”
“38 ¶ Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered
a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house.”
“22 He went on his way through towns and
villages, teaching and journeying toward Jerusalem.”
“33 Nevertheless, I must go on my way today and
tomorrow and the day following, for it cannot be that a prophet should perish
away from Jerusalem.’”
“11 ¶ On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along
between Samaria and Galilee.”
“35 ¶ As he drew near to Jericho, a blind man was
sitting by the roadside begging.”
“1 ¶ He entered Jericho and was passing through.”
“11 ¶ As they heard these things, he proceeded to
tell a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they supposed
that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately.”
“28 ¶ And when he had said these things, he went on
ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29 When he
drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent
two of the disciples,”
