The Real Happiest Place on Earth
Jesus summed up His mission in a single line: “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” This message contrasts the fleeting happiness we manufacture with the lasting joy Jesus brings. From the blind beggar on the roadside to Zacchaeus up a tree, Terry shares how Luke shows us that salvation is God’s initiative, not our achievement. If the real happiest place on earth is where Jesus shows up and seeks the lost, how will our lives reflect the same mission?
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.
