Real Conversations (Luke 8-10)નમૂનો

In today’s passage, we read about how Jesus was eager and ready to love and serve the people around Him. In the various places he traveled, Jesus was not always the town’s favorite, but people were always interested to hear what He had to say and witness His miraculous power. They followed Him to Bethsaida, where Luke tells us, “he welcomed them.” Jesus then taught the people about the kingdom of God and cured their illnesses. Jesus did not respond to the crowds with annoyance, but with love. This account in Luke allows us to observe how Jesus received those who came to Him. Not only were they received, but they were given life-changing truth. To encounter Jesus is to discover One who can heal our physical and spiritual maladies and bring us from death to life.

Questions

1. Think about the times when you have been welcomed by God, where you have felt His love reach out, His healing hand touch your life, and His truth change you. How have those moments impacted your faith and walk with Christ?

2. Knowing we are made in God’s image and are called to grow to be like Christ, how does this passage inform how we live?

Prayer:

Thank You, Jesus, for Your loving heart toward me.
