Luke 7–The Light Shines in Darkness

In This study:

  • A Roman centurion understood Jesus’ authority better than the Jews understood it.
  • Jesus’ sense of perfect timing resulted in the Light driving out the darkness of death.
  • Light driving out darkness is a powerful metaphor to communicate what Jesus is doing.
  • John the Baptist most likely had doubts about Jesus because of confusion about prophecies.
  • Jesus compared the critics of Himself and of John to kids who were upset because John & Jesus wouldn’t play their games.
  • Wisdom can be recognized by its fruit.
  • The one who is forgiven much loves much.

Stay in the battle!
