Luke Chapter Nine - July 25, 2008

Read Today's Passage

  • Herod is perplexed (remember back in Mark?) and wants to see Jesus. Hmm...
  • I find it quite interesting that Jesus tells the disciples to give the crowd food in Luke's account. "You give them something to eat."
  • Jesus warns the 12 not to tell anyone who He is after they tell Him who they believe He is. Do you suppose that it could be because He does not want them telling people who He is and not telling them the cost of following Him?
  • Again, Peter allows his mouth o run away from his brain...
  • It interests me to see that the 12 did not understand Jesus and allowed that to keep them from talking to Jesus about it.
  • James and John have immense tempers.
  • Do any of the excuses at the end of this chapter seem familiar to you? Even though we might not use the dead as an excuse to do something before following Jesus, there are other things that we fall back on far too often.

What did you think?

first Jesus sends His disciples out to lead and drive out demons, then later we find that they weren't able to do so. Why do you suppose that is?
