Jesus brings His Kingdom
He is the Messianic king.
And he’s is the fullfimemt of the promis God made to Abraham that Abraham’s offspering would bless the nations.
He is here to bring good news To the poor, freedom for the prisoners, sight for the blind, and freedom to the…
Then Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread throughout the entire vicinity.
During those days he went out to the mountain to pray and spent all night in prayer to God. When daylight came, he summoned his disciples, and he chose twelve of them, whom he also named apostles: Simon, whom he also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew; Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called the Zealot; Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
After coming down with them, he stood on a level place with a large crowd of his disciples and a great number of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon. They came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases; and those tormented by unclean spirits were made well. The whole crowd was trying to touch him, because power was coming out from him and healing them all.
After the Sabbath encounters, Jesus spent all night in prayer.
Jesus is still praying for us.
All night was nothing, he has eternity.
Jesus calls us higher.
Jesus calls us higher.
Jesus chose twelve simple, ordinary men.
Apostle means someone who is sent out.
He appointed twelve, whom he also named apostles, to be with him, to send them out to preach,
Jesus choose these twelve men to be close to him while he was in ministry. He needed those friends.
God wants you as you are. you don’t need to be anything other than yourself.
I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without me.
Matthew and Simon are the ones who really got what it mean to be “new wine skins.”
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a high and lofty throne, and the hem of his robe filled the temple. Seraphim were standing above him; they each had six wings: with two they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. And one called to another:
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Armies;
his glory fills the whole earth.
The foundations of the doorways shook at the sound of their voices, and the temple was filled with smoke.
Then I said:
Woe is me for I am ruined
because I am a man of unclean lips
and live among a people of unclean lips,
and because my eyes have seen the King,
the Lord of Armies.
Then one of the seraphim flew to me, and in his hand was a glowing coal that he had taken from the altar with tongs. He touched my mouth with it and said:
Now that this has touched your lips,
your iniquity is removed
and your sin is atoned for.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord asking:
Who will I send?
Who will go for us?
I said:
Here I am. Send me.
When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’s knees and said, “Go away from me, because I’m a sinful man, Lord!”
Jesus replied to them, “It is not those who are healthy who need a doctor, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
This is the new wine skins.
The call is out there, what are we going to do with it.
Jesus wants that contrición.
He wants that new wine skin to fill up.
Quotes from Dangerous Jesus book.
Jesus continues to do what only he can do.
Jesus continues to do what only he can do.
Jesus always does what he is going to do.
When we accept God’s call on our lives, we get to be part of the miraculous work.
