Luke: Living as a Disciple of Jesus (Part 2)

The twenty-fifth message from the Book of Luke which highlights our response to Jesus’ Gospel. Part 2 of 4. This message is often called “The Beatitudes” from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. Scripture: Luke 6:27-38 The Call to Radical Love: Why are we to love in this way? ** Because this is how God loved us ** Kindness demonstrated through the cross (Titus 3) Application Questions: ** What would it look like for me today, to turn the other cheek in a way that honoured Jesus? ** Am I know as a person who treats others the way I want to be treated, even when they don’t deserve it? ** Would I want God to treat me the same way I treat others? Why or why not? ** If Jesus were to sit with me one-on-one in a room, would He say that my love is more conditional or unconditional? Why or why not? ** Do I tend to love and only show kindness to people who can benefit me in return? Why or why not? ** Where in my life, or at this moment, is Jesus calling me to love or give without expecting anything in return? ** Do I tend to judge others quickly? What’s behind this tendency? ** Is there someone I need to forgive right now?
