S49E04 - Luke 5, Jesus’ Disciples and Fasting (12-05-2021)
from Vineyard Yorba Linda · host Vineyard Yorba Linda
Jesus' disciples were surprised that he and his companions did not fast. Jesus explained that he had come to bring good news, not to burden people with religious rules. He said that the time would come when people would fast, but that it was not necessary for them to do so now. Jesus' words about fasting are a reminder that he came to free people from the burden of religious rules. He did not want people to focus on outward observances, but on inward transformation. Fasting can be a helpful spiritual practice, but it is not necessary for salvation. #luke #newtestament
