When Jesus is Recruited

They showed up with a compliment and a question, hoping to finally pin down whose side Jesus was on. Jesus didn't take the bait then, and it turns out he's still not taking it now. Not from anyone hoping Jesus will sign off on their read of things, whoever they are. This week, Terry shares "When Jesus Gets Recruited," from Luke 20:19-26, and what happens when Jesus' answer isn't an endorsement, and why that might be exactly what we need instead.

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.
