Jesus. Week 1 Teaching Text

Luke 2:1-7

2 At that time the Roman emperor, Augustus, decreed that a census should be taken throughout the Roman Empire. ² (This was the first census taken when Quirinius was governor of Syria.) ³ All returned to their own ancestral towns to register for this census. ⁴ And because Joseph was a descendant of King David, he had to go to Bethlehem in Judea, David’s ancient home. He traveled there from the village of Nazareth in Galilee. ⁵ He took with him Mary, to whom he was engaged, who was now expecting a child.

⁶ And while they were there, the time came for her baby to be born. ⁷ She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them.

In this teaching, we hear Pastor Mike talk about when you die, there will be a test. When you get to paradise, they’ll ask “why should you get to go in,” and what will you say? “Well, I…” Wrong answer. “Because I was good, or I obeyed… or I ate broccoli” No, the answer is

Jesus.

Because HE was perfect. Because HE died & rose again.

In this teaching, we hear Pastor Mike talk about the Holy Spirit as our guide in reaching our destiny. We do so much to keep God from guiding us and you might be thinking “no, He’s God. You can’t tie up God. Can’t He just make Himself free?” They said the same thing to Jesus. They said,

if you are the Son of God, save yourself and come down from the cross!

Matthew 27:40

Jesus didn’t save himself. Why? Because God has given people an uncomfortable amount of freedom to sin and to reject Him. We’ve got a world of people trying to reach their destiny, but they don’t know where they’re going.

²⁸ Gabriel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, favored woman! The Lord is with you!”

In this teaching, we hear Pastor Mike talk about forgiveness. Ephesians 5:1 says we should imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. If we are children of the forgiver, we are called to be forgivers. If a parent is good, the children will imitate the parent. That’s why we’re called disciples. Disciple means follower.

What is the cross a symbol of? Forgiveness. If you want to follow Christ, you forgive like He forgave. If our goal is to be like Christ, we forgive like He forgave. Take up your cross. It’s a sacrifice for the Kingdom.

    and he has done great things for me.
⁵⁰ He shows mercy from generation to generation
    to all who fear him.
⁵¹ His mighty arm has done tremendous things!
    He has scattered the proud and haughty ones.
⁵² He has brought down princes from their thrones
    and exalted the humble.
⁵³ He has filled the hungry with good things
    and sent the rich away with empty hands.
⁵⁴ He has helped his servant Israel
    and remembered to be merciful.
⁵⁵ For he made this promise to our ancestors,
    to Abraham and his children forever.”

⁵⁶ Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and then went back to her own home.

The Widow’s Offering

⁴¹ Jesus sat down near the collection box in the Temple and watched as the crowds dropped in their money. Many rich people put in large amounts. ⁴² Then a poor widow came and dropped in two small coins.^[a]

⁴³ Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow has given more than all the others who are making contributions. ⁴⁴ For they gave a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she had to live on.”
