The Ministries of Jesus Week 1
Salvation
Robert Morris
We’re beginning a new series called “The Ministries of Jesus”
We finished The Gifts of Jesus.
There are 5 Ministries as well
Luke 4:1
Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness
He was baptized by John in Jordan
Then He fasts for 40 days and is tempted by Satan
Luke 4:13
Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time.
Satan tempts us during opportune times
He tempted Him with turning stones into bread when He was hungry
When I fast sugar, they put Bluebell on sale!
His First Sermon Luke 4:14
Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news of Him went out through all the surrounding region.
Luke 4:15
And He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
Luke 4:16
So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up.
And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.
Luke 4:17
And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah.
And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:
Luke 4:18
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the
poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed;
Luke 4:19
to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
Luke 4:20
Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down.
And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him.
Luke 4:21
And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”
This was His first sermon in His hometown!
They were all excited that they had heard He had left carpentry
And gone into ministry and was preaching great!
In this sermon, He announces who He is!
He was handed the book Isaiah!
He chose Isaiah 61, a Messianic Scripture
They would stand to read from the Torah
Then they would sit down to teach
The Temple was in Jerusalem where there were sacrifices
Synagogues were all over Israel
They were for worship and Torah reading
They were meeting halls and even schools where the Torah was taught
One commentator described the ruler of the Synagogue
“The ruler of the synagogue did not preach or expound Torah, which meant that Sabbath teaching and exposition fell to the laity, and on this occasion to Jesus.
The official in charge of a synagogue was the “ruler of the synagogue,” a position that included the responsibilities of librarian, worship committee, schoolteacher, and custodian.”
Sounds like a Pastor of a small church: Worship committee, custodian…
But a Pastor must preach, marry, bury, visit, and counsel everyone!
Then Jesus preaches the shortest sermon ever! 8 words!
“Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”
This reminds me of the shortest prayer I ever heard
We were about to prophesy, and we were with a father in the faith The pastor prayed and then I and the other guy prayed
We were in our 30’s.
Then the Father in the faith prayed
“Lord.
Help! Amen.”
His First Response Luke 4:22
So all bore witness to Him, and marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His
mouth.
And they said, “Is this not Joseph’s son?”
They marveled at the gracious things He was saying about Himself
It’s one thing to say gracious words about others
Debbie’s so kind, wonderful, beautiful.
I’m so kind, wonderful, handsome.
Bore witness means to speak or give a testimony
But look at what they were saying, what their testimony was
Isn’t this Joseph’s son.
There are 2 parallel passages.
They marveled that He attributed these Scriptures to Himself!
Matthew 13:55
“Is this not the carpenter’s son?”
Mark 6:3
“Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon?
And are not His sisters here with us?”
So they were offended at Him.
Mark 6:4
But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.”
Is this not the carpenter’s son?
Is this not the carpenter?
So, they were offended at Him!
Luke 4:23
He said to them, “You will surely say this proverb to Me, ‘Physician, heal yourself!
Whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in Your country.’”
Luke 4:24
Then He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country.
That’s what He said in Matthew 13 (end) and Mark 6 (beginning) also
He’s about to offend them some more
Luke 4:25
But I tell you truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land;
Luke 4:26
but to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
Luke 4:27
And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.”
This made them really mad! Why?
Because He was announcing something
That was prophesied in the OT but still made many Jewish people upset!
