They Hung on Every Word
Jesus went into the temple area. He began to throw out the
people that were selling things there. Jesus said, "It is
written {in the Scriptures}, 'My house will be a house of
prayer.' But you have changed it into a 'hiding place for
thieves.'" Jesus taught the people in the temple area every
day. The leading priests, the teachers of the law, and some
of the leaders of the people wanted to kill Jesus. But all
the people were listening closely to Jesus. They were very
interested in the things Jesus said. So the leading priests,
the teachers of the law, and the leaders did not know how
they could kill Jesus.
-- Luke 19:45-48 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Those in power wanted to shut Jesus up; they were so adamant about it,
they plotted to kill him. However, the everyday folks heard the voice
of God in Jesus' words and they hung on every word he said. Our trip
through the Gospel of Luke this year has been based upon our need to
hear the voice of Jesus and to know his ministry first hand. So often
in our world today, people will read a best selling Christian author
before they will read their Bible. They will read books about Jesus
rather than reading the Gospels that the Holy Spirit provided us to
know the story of Jesus. I want to issue you a challenge: join me in
using these last six weeks of this year to read through each of the
Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) at least once. Hang on Jesus'
every word. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you know Jesus more so you can
become like Jesus more completely.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
O righteous and holy Father, God of all creation, please reveal your
Son to me and in me as I seek to know him better in the closing weeks
of this year. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
