Your sins are forgiven. (Luke 5:17-26)

Jesus forgives the paralytic's sin and heals his affliction. The rabbis taught that a man could not be healed until he was forgiven. But Jesus uses their own teaching against them.  He heals the lame and thus proves his authority to forgive sins.  Rick Walker [email protected]

Make me clean! (Luke 5:12-16)

Jesus makes lepers clean, which becomes a testimony to the priests.  Rick Walker [email protected]

Remember Miriam (Lepers)

Miriam was a living, breathing sermon about the Lord's judgment upon the disobedient. And all lepers were symbolic living reminders to everyone about the price of disobedience paid by Miriam.  Though the lepers may have been as righteous as the next man, they bore this burden of being a living rebuke to the ungodly.    Rick Walker [email protected]

Jesus heals lepers. (OT Background)

If you think Jesus healing lepers was only about healing a disease you are missing the spiritual symbolism.  The place to begin is not in the Gospels with Jesus healing lepers, but in the Old Testament with leprosy as divine judgment upon sinners.  Rick Walker [email protected]

Physician, heal yourself. (Luke 4:22-30)

The synagogue at Nazareth was perplexed that Jesus performed spectacular miracles in Capernaum, but not in Nazareth.  The miracles of Elijah and Elisha helped a Gentile widow and leper. But Jews were excluded from because of unbelief.  The Gentile widow and the Syrian leper were more noble than the Jews in Nazareth.     Rick Walker [email protected]

The Breaker (Luke 4:14-21)

In his Nazareth sermon, Jesus is begins his ministry by fulfilling his role  reflected in the name of God found in Micah: The Breaker.  Rick Walker [email protected]

The Royal Official (John 4:43-54)

Jesus was warmly welcomed in Galilee upon his return from the Passover in Judea because they had seen the miracles he had performed in Jerusalem.  But still, they did not believe in him.  The Jews are in stark contrast to the Samaritans who declared that Jesus is the Savior of the world.  How can Jesus rebuke the Jews for not believing unless he shows them miracles, but at other times tell people to believe because of his miracles?   Rick Walker [email protected]

The Samaritan Woman (John 4:1-26)

When Jesus offered the Samaritan woman spiritual water, the topic changed to her marriage and then questions about the place of true worship: Mt. Gerizim or Mt. Moriah?  The Samaritan temple or the Jewish temple. Jesus answered her question, but then noted that the question really did not matter. Things were changing and the Father now sought worship in spirit and in truth.  Rick Walker [email protected]

Purifying the Temple (John 2:13-22)

Jesus purified the corrupt temple at the beginning of his ministry, and again at the end.  He was dealing with a long history of temple corruption and greed, returning the temple to its true function as a place of mercy from God and praise from the people. Rick Walker [email protected]

Wine of Heaven (John 2:1-11)

Why did Jesus turn water to wine if his "hour had not yet come?" Did he deviate from the will of his Father in order to bow to the wishes of Mary? The key is found in the Wedding and Wine symbology of the Old Testament and confirmed by Jesus in his teachings and sayings. News and announcements.  Rick Walker [email protected]

"Come and see." (John 1:19-51)

Jesus returned from his temptations and John revealed him as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Enough to draw his first five disciples unto himself. The invitation was not "Follow me," but "Come and See. A common rabbinic expression. What began as a trickle of two disciples grew into the crush of the crowds and people forcing their way into the kingdom. Rick Walker [email protected]

(5) Jesus is Tested: Throw Yourself Down (Lk. 4:9-13)

The final test for Jesus was the temptation to test God. "Throw yourself down. The angels will protect you." Jesus is so devoted to following the scriptures that the Devil challenges him to follow the promise in Psalm 91  that the angles will protect him. Jesus recognized the ruse and overcame the last temptation. The Devil uses the same tactic on ill-informed Christians. Do not fall for the Devil's trick.  Also, a note at the end about our work in Guyana. Rick Walker [email protected]

(4) Jesus is Tested: Worship Me (Luke 4:5-8)

The Devil offered Jesus a shortcut to glory: Bow down and worship me. I will give you all the kingdoms of the world. Jesus refused, only worshiping God. In the end Jesus will receive the glory from the Father. The tables will be turned and the Devil will bow down before Jesus. Rick Walker [email protected]

(3) Jesus is Tested: Stones to Bread (Lk. 4:3-4)

Jesusˇ  first temptation mirrors the first temptation of the Jews in the desert: hunger. In both the devotion of Godˇs son is being tested.  But there is some more at stake with Jesus than a question of his devotion. There is the question of his inheritance from the father.  Rick Walker [email protected]
