Salvation (78)
  1. Luke does not tell us who asked it. But it’s a good question. “Lord, will those who are saved be few?”
  2. Jesus is still in the business of dividing. He has come to divide us from our sinful thoughts and habits. He has come to divide us from false views of the world and distortions of His Word.
  3. The Father knows our needs because he knows everything. This is a comforting thought, but only if He is gracious.
  4. When we pray, we should have in mind His name and His provision and His forgiveness. In other words, we ask God to do what God promises to do.
  5. Like Mary, they (with you) are at Jesus’ feet to learn and hear from the Lord of all Creation. It is a privileged place to be if there ever was one!
  6. When Jesus told the Parable of the Good Samaritan, He was not simply encouraging us to be good citizens. He was continuing a conversation which had begun with a serious question about salvation.
