Luke 4:38-44
38 And he arose and left the synagogue and entered Simon's house.
Now Simon's mother-in-law was ill with a high fever, and they appealed to him on her behalf. 39 And he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her, and immediately she rose and began to serve them.
40 Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to him, and he laid his hands on every one of them and healed them. 41 And demons also came out of many, crying, “You are the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.
42 And when it was day, he departed and went into a desolate place. And the people sought him and came to him, and would have kept him from leaving them, 43 but he said to them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for I was sent for this purpose.”
44 And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.
So we begin our Scripture portion realizing Jesus didn't just sit to teach on the Sea of Galilee, Jesus sat to teach when He was in Synagogues. This is unusual teaching - most stand to teach. Jesus healed while sitting. He taught with authority - seated. Even in Luke 2 - as a child - Jesus was seated teaching and having discussions as a boy - in the Temple of Jerusalem staying behind from Passover celebrations.
Without a doubt - Jesus teaches us He is the God teaching Peace. Jesus knows His Purpose. Jesus believes God fulfills His Purpose.
Abba, Holy Father,
We ask to have Faith as little children coming to Your Son, Jesus. This faith does not hinder us, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Abraham believed and this was credited to Him as Righteousness.
Matthew 10:14
"Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
Abba we ask this for ourselves, loved ones, this Nation, for the Nations trusting in God and for all of Your children all over Your Good Creation.
Jesus took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them.
We pray for peace, calm seas, good weather for ourselves and the people experiencing fires on the West Coast and the smoke to have peace. We pray for good health, faith and an increase of more Heaven on earth as the Children of God pray and in our efforts to bring Light and Life forth.
In Jesus. Amen.
♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
