in us bringing healing where there is pain hope where there is doubt and peace
2:54
where there is chaos in Jesus name we pray amen as we reflect on Luke's prayer
3:02
it's important to understand the essence of the message that Luke brings to us in his gospel Luke do often referred to as
3:10
the Beloved Physician had a unique way of capturing the Heart of Jesus
3:16
ministry his gospel emphasizes the compassion and mercy of Christ more than
3:21
any other reminding us that Jesus came for the broken The Lost and the
3:27
Forgotten one of the key them we see in Luke is Jesus focus on prayer in fact
3:34
Luke records more instances of Jesus praying than any other gospel why is
3:39
this significant it shows us that even the son of God in all his Divine Authority
3:45
depended on his connection with the father Jesus prayed before making decisions he prayed in moments of joy
3:53
and he prayed in moments of deep sorrow this teaches us the vital importance of
3:58
staying connected to God through prayer in all circumstances in Luke the 5:1 16
4:04
we read that Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed think about
4:10
that for a moment Jesus who was constantly surrounded by crowds who had
4:16
people demanding his attention still made time to step away and connect with his father in our lives today with the
4:24
constant demands of work family and even social media it can be easy to neglect
4:29
this sacred time with God but if Jesus needed it how much more do we Luke's
4:35
gospel also reveals the intimate relationship Jesus had with those who were often overlooked by Society his
4:42
deep compassion for the sick the Sinners the poor and the marginalized is a powerful reminder of God's heart for
4:49
each of us no matter who you are or where you've been God sees you he knows
4:54
your struggles and he deeply cares for you one story that stands out in Luke's
5:00
gospel is the parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 101:
5:06
25-37 Jesus shares a story about a man who was attacked by robbers and left for
5:11
dead on the side of the road several people passed him by ignoring his need
5:16
for help until finally a Samaritan someone who was considered an outsider
5:21
stopped and took care of him this story is a powerful reminder that we are called to show love and compassion to
5:28
everyone regardless of their background just as Jesus does for us when we think
5:34
about Luke's prayer we can't help but be drawn to the Lord's prayer that Jesus taught his disciples in Luke CH 11 veres
5:42
1:4 the Simplicity and power of this prayer capture the heart of what it means to truly depend on God for
5:50
everything give us each day our daily bread Jesus prayed teaching us to rely
5:56
on God for our physical emotional and spiritual needs forgive us our sins he
6:01
continued reminding us that forgiveness is not only something we receive from God but something we must extend to
6:08
others in this prayer Jesus also teaches us to ask for God's guidance and
6:14
protection saying lead us not into temptation it's a reminder that we need
6:19
God's help daily to navigate the challenges and temptations that life brings our way we cannot do it on our
6:26
own through Luke's recording of this prayer we see the importance of humility in our relationship with God we come
6:33
before him not as people who have it all together but as children who need their father's guidance and
6:40
strength as we think about this let's take a moment to reflect on our own prayer
6:45
lives how often do we like Jesus withdraw from the busyness of life to
6:51
spend time with our heavenly father do we trust God enough to bring our needs our struggles and E and our hearts
6:58
before him knowing that he cares for us this is the beauty of Luke's
7:05
message it invites us into a deeper relationship with God one that is based
7:10
on trust prayer and compassion it's not about perfection it's about daily coming
7:15
to God just as we are and allowing him to transform us through his love and
7:21
grace let's continue reflecting on these truths allowing the message of Luke's
7:26
gospel to penetrate our hearts and Minds as we continue reflecting on the lessons
7:32
from Luke's prayer one of the most profound aspects of Luke's gospel is its
7:38
emphasis on the Holy Spirit and the role it plays in the life of Jesus and by
7:44
extension in our own lives from the very beginning of Luke's account we see the
7:49
Holy Spirit actively working guiding and empowering individuals to fulfill God's
7:54
plan this is evident in the lives of figures like Zechariah
8:00
Mary John the Baptist and of course Jesus himself one of the first mentions
8:06
of the holy spirit in Luke's gospel is during the announcement of the birth of Jesus in Luke
8:12
1:35 the angel tells Mary the holy spirit will come upon you and the power
8:18
of the most high will overshadow you this sets the stage for the central role
8:23
the Holy Spirit would play Not only in the birth of Jesus but throughout his entire Ministry and then we see it again
8:31
when Jesus is baptized in Luke 23: 21-22 as he comes up from the Waters of
8:38
the Jordan River the Holy Spirit descends on him in bodily form like a dove and a voice from Heaven declares
8:45
you are my son whom I love with you I am well pleased this moment is critical
8:51
because it reveals the close relationship between Jesus and the Holy Spirit Everything Jesus did in his
8:57
ministry his preaching his healing his compassion was empowered by the Holy
9:02
Spirit and what's even more incredible is that Jesus through his life in death
9:08
open the door for us to receive the Same Spirit this is such an important message
9:13
for us to grasp sometimes we go through life feeling powerless as though the challenges we Face are too big or the
9:21
burdens we carry are too heavy but Luke's gospel reminds us that we are not
9:26
alone just as the Holy Spirit was with Jesus guiding him giving him strength
9:32
and wisdom that same spirit is available to each one of us in Luke
9:38
11:13 Jesus encourages Us by saying if you then though you are evil know how to
9:45
give good gifts to your children how much more will your father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask
9:50
him think about that for a moment God is eager to give us the Holy Spirit to fill
9:56
us with his presence his power and his peace all we have to do is ask in
10:01
addition to the powerful presence of the Holy Spirit another key theme in Luke's gospel is jesus' deep compassion for the
10:09
Lost we see this beautifully Illustrated in the parable of the prodigal son in
10:14
Luke 15: 11-32 this Parable unique to Luke's
10:19
gospel is one of the most well-known and cherished stories in all of scripture and for good reason it offers a powerful
10:27
picture of God's heart for those who have wandered away from him in the story
10:33
a young man demands his inheritance from his father leaves home and wastes all of
10:38
his money on Reckless living when he hits Rock Bottom he realizes the error of his ways and decides to return home
10:46
hoping to at least to become a servant in his father's house but what happens next is breathtaking instead of anger or
10:54
rejection the father runs to meet his son Embraces him and restores him to his
11:00
place in the family this Parable reveals so much about the character of God he is
11:05
a loving father who is always ready to welcome us back with open arms no matter how far we have strayed it doesn't
11:12
matter what mistakes we've made how many times we failed or how unworthy we feel
11:18
God's love for us is unconditional he is always waiting for us to come
11:23
home Luke 15:7 says I tell you there will be more joy in heaven over one
11:30
sinner who repents than over 99 righteous persons who need no repentance
11:35
this shows the joy that fills heaven when even one person turns back to God and maybe that person is you today maybe
11:43
you've been feeling distant from God unsure of whether he could ever forgive you or accept you after everything
11:49
you've done but the message of Luke is clear God is Not only willing to forgive
11:55
he is eager to forgive his love knows no bounds and his grace is more than enough
12:01
to cover every sin this leads us to one of the most profound prayers that Jesus offers in
12:08
the Gospel of Luke and it comes at a time when we least expect it in Luke
12:13
223: 34 as Jesus is hanging on the cross suffering for the sins of the world he
12:20
utters these words father forgive them for they do not know what they are
12:25
doing even in the midst of unimaginable pain and suffer uffing Jesus prays for
12:31
those who are crucifying him this prayer reveals the depth of jesus' compassion
12:36
and mercy it shows us that there is no limit to God's forgiveness Luke's gospel
12:42
and indeed Luke's prayer invites us to reflect on the power of forgiveness in our own lives just as God forgives us we
12:50
are called to forgive others this isn't always easy in fact it can be one of the
12:56
hardest things we are asked to do but as we see in jesus' example forgiveness is
13:02
not just about the other person it's about releasing ourselves from the weight of bitterness and anger it's
13:09
about trusting that God's justice and mercy are greater than our own and that he will work all things for
13:16
good as we continue to meditate on these truths let's ask ourselves where do we
13:22
need the holy spirit's power in our lives where do we need God's forgiveness and where do we need to extend that
13:28
forgiveness to others the beauty of Luke's gospel is that it speaks to every
13:34
area of Our Lives whether we are struggling with sin feeling distant from
13:39
God or carrying the weight of unforgiveness Luke reminds us that God
13:44
is always near ready to fill us with his Spirit forgive us and restore us to the
13:50
fullness of Life In Christ let's take a moment now to pray for that power forgiveness and
13:58
Restoration in our own lives Heavenly Father we come before you again humbled
14:05
by the depth of your love and grace thank you for the message of Luke's gospel for the powerful reminder that
14:13
you are always with us guiding us filling us with your Holy Spirit and
14:18
offering us forgiveness no matter how far we have strayed Lord we ask now for a fresh
14:26
outpouring of your spirit upon each one of us fill us with your power your wisdom and
14:32
your peace help us to walk in the truth of who you are and who you have called
14:37
us to be where we feel weak give us strength where we feel lost give us
14:43
Direction and where we are holding on to unforgiveness give us the courage to let
14:48
go and trust you we ask for your forgiveness mro Lord for the times we
14:55
have failed you for the times we have turned away we ask for for your mercy cleanse our hearts and make us new and
15:03
help us father to extend that same forgiveness to those around us teach us to love as you love to forgive as you
15:11
forgive and to walk in the freedom that comes from knowing we are fully and completely yours we lift up every person
15:19
listening or watching this prayer touch their hearts Lord and meet them where
15:25
they are Let Your Presence fill their homes their families and their lives in
15:30
Jesus name we pray amen as we move deeper into Luke's prayer and the wisdom
15:37
found in his gospel we are continually reminded of the Revolutionary nature of
15:42
Jesus's teachings one of the most striking things about Luke's gospel is how Jesus overturns societal Norms
15:50
reaching out to the marginalized the outcast and the Forgotten his message is clear in the
15:58
kingdom of God everyone matters regardless of status out wealth or background this is perhaps
16:05
most powerfully demonstrated in Luke maure 4: 18-19 where Jesus quoting from the
16:12
prophet Isaiah declares his mission the spirit of the Lord is on me because he
16:19
has anointed me to Proclaim good news to the poor he has sent me to Proclaim
16:25
freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind to to set the oppressed free to proclaim the year of
16:32
the Lord's favor this declaration sets the tone for Jesus's entire ministry as recorded by
16:39
Luke Jesus came not just for the religious or the wealthy but for the poor the Brokenhearted the imprisoned
16:46
and the oppressed he came to heal both physical and spiritual blindness to
16:52
bring freedom to those Bound by sin and despair and to Proclaim that God's favor
16:57
is available to all Luke's gospel constantly brings our Focus back to this revolutionary message
17:04
of Hope and restoration when we reflect on this it challenges us to examine our
17:09
own lives and how we interact with the world around us who are the poor and the
17:15
oppressed in Our Lives who are the people that we might Overlook either because of our own biases or because
17:22
Society has deemed them Unworthy of attention Luke's prayer pushes us to open our eyes to the needs of others
17:28
reminding us that following Jesus means stepping outside of our comfort zones and reaching out to those in need just
17:36
as he did one of the key Parables that illustrates this is the parable of the
17:41
rich man and Lazarus in Luke Docker 16: 19-31 in this story a rich man lives in
17:50
luxury while a poor man named Lazarus sits outside his gate covered in sores
17:56
and longing for scraps of food both men eventually die and while Lazarus is
18:01
taken to heaven the rich man finds himself in torment when the rich man begs for Mercy
18:08
he is reminded that during his life he had everything he needed but he ignored
18:13
the suffering of those around him this Parable is a sobering reminder of the
18:18
responsibility we have to care for others it's easy to get caught up in our own lives our own worries and our own
18:26
Pursuits of success or comfort but Jesus calls us to look Beyond
18:33
ourselves in Luke's prayer we are reminded that our faith is not just
18:38
about personal salvation but about how we live out that faith in the world it's
18:43
about loving our neighbors caring for the vulnerable and standing up for those who cannot stand up for themselves
18:50
Luke's gospel is also filled with stories of healing both physical and
18:56
spiritual one of the most powerful examples is found in Luke a te:
19:02
43-48 where a woman who had been suffering from bleeding for 12 years reaches out to touch the edge of Jesus
19:09
cloak in a crowd of people she believes that if she can just touch His Garment
19:14
she will be healed and she is right Jesus feels power go out from him and
19:19
asks who touched me the woman trembling comes forward and explains her situation
19:26
Jesus response is full of compassion daughter your faith has healed you go in
19:33
peace what stands out in the story is not only the woman's Faith but jesus'
19:39
willingness to stop and acknowledge her in a culture that often dismissed women
19:44
especially those who were sick or unclean Jesus saw her valued her and
19:50
healed her this reflects a broader theme in Luke's gospel Jesus constantly
19:56
notices and uplifts Those whom Society ignores or deems unworthy in our own
20:03
lives we may sometimes feel like this woman desperate overlooked or
20:08
unworthy but Luke's gospel assures us that Jesus sees us knows us and cares
20:15
deeply for us no matter what we are going through we are never too far from his love and
20:22
healing power Luke's prayer encourages us to have faith like this woman and to
20:28
reach out to Jesus in our times of need trusting that he will meet us with compassion and
20:34
Grace another remarkable example of Jesus's healing power in Luke is found
20:40
in Luke shim verses 11 to1 17 where Jesus raises the Widow's son from the
20:46
dead as Jesus approaches the town of Na he sees a funeral procession a Widow's
20:53
only son has died and she is weeping moved with compassion Jesus touched es
20:58
the coffin and says young man I say to you get up the boy is restored to life
21:06
and Jesus gives him back to his mother this miracle not only showcases
21:13
Jesus authority over life and death but also his deep compassion for those who
21:18
are grieving the Widow had lost her only son which in that time would have left
21:24
her in a vulnerable position both emotionally and financially but Jesus
21:30
seeing her pain intervenes in her situation in a way that completely transforms her
21:36
life these stories of healing and restoration are a reminder that Jesus is
21:41
not distant or indifferent to our suffering he enters into our pain into
21:47
our Brokenness and offers healing Hope and New Life Luke's prayer invites us to bring
21:54
our hurts our grief and our struggles to Jesus trusting that he is able and
21:59
willing to bring healing and restoration into our lives but this message of healing isn't just for us to receive
22:07
it's also something we are called to share as followers of Jesus we are invited to participate in his mission of
22:15
bringing healing and hope to the world just as Jesus reached out to the sick
22:20
the broken and the hurting so are we called to do the same whether it's through acts of kindness words of
22:27
encouragement or simply being present with someone in their pain we can be instruments of
22:33
God's healing in the lives of others Luke's prayer challenges us to look at the World Through The Eyes of
22:39
Jesus to see the needs around us and to respond with compassion and love this is
22:45
what it means to live out our faith not just in The Quiet Moments of personal devotion but in the way we interact with
22:53
the world and the people around us in Luke 18: 9 to 14 we find the parable of
23:00
the Pharisee and the tax collector which illustrates the importance of humility
23:05
in our relationship with God in the story The Pharisee prays
23:11
thanking God that he is not like other people robbers evildoers or even like
23:17
the tax collector but the tax collector standing at a distance beats his chest
23:22
and says God have mercy on me a sinner Jesus concludes by by saying that it was
23:29
the tax collector not the Pharisee who went home Justified before God this
23:36
Parable reminds us that in God's kingdom it's not about outward appearances or
23:41
self-righteousness God looks at the heart Luke's prayer calls us to come before God in humility recognizing our
23:49
need for his grace and mercy it's a reminder that no matter how good we may appear on the outside we are all in need
23:57
of God's forgiveness and love as we continue to reflect on these truths
24:02
let's ask ourselves where do we need to Humble ourselves before God where do we
24:07
need to show compassion to those around us how can we be instruments of healing
24:13
and hope in a broken World heavenly father as we reflect on the powerful lessons from Luke's gospel we are
24:20
humbled by the depth of your compassion mercy and love thank you for seeing us for valuing
24:28
us and for meeting us in our Brokenness with healing and Grace Lord we ask that
24:35
you help us to have eyes like Jesus to see the needs of those around us and to
24:41
respond with love and compassion teach us to step out of our comfort zones and reach out to those who are hurting just
24:49
as Jesus did help us to be your hands and feet in a world that desperately needs your healing touch we pray for
24:56
humility Lord help us to come before you with hearts that are open and honest
25:02

25:07
been proud self-righteous or indifferent to the needs of others give us hearts
25:13
