People are Scary, Luke 19:47-48; 20:1-8; 20:19
Three times in two chapters, the people best positioned to move against Jesus don't, and Luke doesn't let them dress up why. They're afraid of the crowd. They just never call it that. Patience. Caution. Discretion. Anything but the truth. Terry walks through what that costs, in order, and how often we run the same math on smaller stages, over smaller stakes. What are you currently calling wisdom that's actually just fear with better manners?
Series Information
Terry proclaims the one Gospel through the history, research, rememberings and faith expressed in the text of the Gospel According to Luke. Jesus himself is the good news expressed by Luke. Beginning with the birth narratives unique to Luke's presentation, the good news of the Kingdom explodes into faithful view as each account, teaching, parable and event lived out and offered by Jesus, the Messiah-King, is examined the way Luke seemingly examined Jesus in his own work. Here we find a Jesus to love, a Jesus to follow, and ultimately a Jesus to worship.
