A Journey Through Luke & ActsПример

As Jesus sets out to Jerusalem, he sends out a wave of his followers to prepare each city where he plans to stop along the way. They travel light, no luggage or moneybags are necessary, and they go equipped with the healing power and message of the Kingdom of God. This shows us again that Jesus’ followers are active participants in the mission of God in the world. Jesus gives the good news of the Kingdom, and those who believe it don’t just receive it, they join him in giving it away to others. This is the Kingdom way. It’s not about accumulating power and wealth from this world; it’s about receiving the provision of heaven to bless the world. So in this next section, Luke records many of Jesus’ teachings about trusting in God’s provision. Jesus teaches on prayer, management of resources, and radical generosity. In response to his teachings, the poor and afflicted celebrate. But the religious leaders rage as they hear Jesus correcting their greedy way of life, and they begin to plot against him.
