[Sunday] Beautiful News - Vanishing Grace
Jesus was tempted in the wilderness in every way that we are. This story right at the beginning of Luke's gospel foreshadows the way it ends: Jesus taking all our sins and struggles and giving us grace and victory over them all. Now that we have been freed, we can live knowing that grace is for all.
Questions for this week.
How have you seen God’s good news physically affect someone in a positive way?
Read Luke 4:1-13. How is Jesus tempted by the devil? How have you been tempted in the same way? How does Jesus free you from these temptations?
Who might you love this week, and how might you bring them good news?
Psalm 1 provides a blueprint for spiritual life, and helps us see how Jesus grew into His Messianic role. Psalm 2 broadens from individual growth to God's MESSIANIC PLAN for the world and takes in the entire sweep of history. This Sunday we are in an Advent state of mind. Next Sunday we celebrate Christmas in July through the eyes of the Magi.
