Episode 195: 27AD: Jesus Heals the Centurion's Servant and Spiritual Authority

In Luke 11-13, Jesus demonstates the range of his ministry, by prophesying 5 woes to the Pharisees, scribes, and lawyers which parallel Isaiah 5. Then, he teaches the parable of the faithful servant, the parable of barren fig tree, and the parable of the rich fool.  Next, he evangelizes to the crowd when he delivers a woman from a spirit of infirmity.  Luke 11:37-54Luke 12:13-21Luke 12:54-59Luke 13:1-5Luke 13:10-17www.messagetokings.com

A lawyer comes to Jesus, to justify himself, and asks him how to inherit eternal life.  Jesus answers with the greatest commandment: LOVE.  The lawyer questions further, "but, who is my neighbor?" Jesus' answer was the Parable of the Good Samaritan.  Luke 10:25-37James 2:13Leviticus 21www.messagetokings.com

The Book of Luke, only, includes the sending out of the 70 disciples ahead of Jesus.  The disciples were sent out to heal the sick, and do deliverance, and declare the good news of the kingdom.  In this episode, we cover the sending out of the 70, the judgment of cities, the accountability to evangelism, and the apostolic nature of the Roman Empire.  Luke 10:1-24www.messagetokings.com

While the disciples went to and from Jerusalem, Jesus taught lessons on the road driving home the importance of his nature, the character of Christ.  "Lest we offend them," Peter caught a coin for the temple tax out of the mouth of a fish. Then, Jesus taught on humility, power by the wrong spirit, and three reasons people refused to be his disciple: comfort, money/tradition, and sin.  Matthew 17:24-18:9Matthew 8:18-22Mark 9:33-50Luke 9:46-50Luke 9:51-62www.messagetokings.com

The Feast of Tabernacles continues. Jesus confronts the religious leaders referencing the future cross, how the truth will set you free, and evades stoning multiple times only to heal a blind man from birth.  The healing causes a stir and the blind man becomes an instant evangelist. We conclude this episode with Jesus' famous shepherd and door teaching, and how his sheep hear his voice.  John 8:12-10:21Revelation 19:10www.messagetokings.com

After appearing at the Feast of Tabernacles, Jesus goes to the Mount of Olives where he is confronted by the Pharisees who bring him a woman caught in the act of adultery.  They tell Jesus to stone her as Moses commanded.  Jesus' response speaks to the new covenant, eternal wisdom, and the redemption of the gospel.  John 8:1-12Deuteronomy 22:22James 2:13www.messagetokings.com

Jesus sent his disciples ahead of him into Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles.  Then, Jesus appears to everyone in the middle of the feast, and in the temple courts. He teaches the people and they are amazed, while the Pharisees want to kill him.  Jesus would reveal he is the reason and fulfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles.  We conclude the episode by speaking to the prophetic fulfillment of the feasts.  John 7Proverbs 14:16Leviticus 23www.messagetokings.com

After Jesus comes down from the mountain, there is a commotion because his disciples cannot cast out a demon.  Jesus rebukes his disciples lack of faith, and takes care of the demon.  In this episode, we cover Jesus' frustration with this generation, and we cover the private conversations and teachings behind the scenes.  Additionally, we share a word related to 2024. Matthew 17:14-23Mark 9:14-22Luke 9:37-45www.messagetokings.com

After Caesarea Philippi, Jesus led Peter, James and John up Mount Hermon and was transfigured before them. His face shinned like the sun and the Glory of the Lord appeared.  Moses and Elijah appeared before Jesus and spoke with him.  In this episode, we discuss this divine encounter and a different perspective of the transfiguration. Matthew 17:1-9Mark 9:1-13Luke 9:28-36Psalms 7:15www.messagetokings.com
