Lord’s Day Message
Bible Verses: Luke 6:17~49
Topics: The Teaching of the Lord and to Do What He Said
Important Verses:
“And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: Blessed are you who are por, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. “Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh. Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man! Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets.” (Luke 6:20~23, ESV)
“But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either. Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them. If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.” (27~32)
“But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.” (35~36)
“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” (37~38)
“For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit, for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” (43~45)
“Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you? Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. But the one who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the stream broke against it, immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.” (46~49)
Outlines
- The secrets to become blessed (20~26):
“Poor”, “hunger”, and “weep” all speak about the longing for the Lord. With such longing and trust we can become a blessed person.
2. Becoming the son of the Most High (27~36, 37~42):
There are a lot of high demands in this section. These are meant to show the life and characters of the children of God, which is different from the sinner. This life and nature also bring us into a healthy relationship with others.
3. The source and manifestation of the life (43~45):
Our living surely depends on the life within us.
4. Do what the Lord has said (46~49):
We need to not only listen to the word of the Lord but also do it, so that we can have firm foundation to face all kind of trials.
