SOME LESSONS FROM LUKE 6;
1.- DON’T BE INTIMIDATED – {v 7,11} …BY THOSE WHO LOOK TO FIND FAULT WITH JESUS;
THE MAN JESUS Was not intimidated, or influenced. or succumbed to the religious hypocrites with their rules and laws and lack of love seeking to find fault with Jesus. Don’t be intimated by those who look to find fault with Jesus.
2.- DON’T BE A HYPOCRITE; –{v 41-42}
Pay close attention to your own attitudes and actions. It doesn’t mean we are not to help people who are struggling but don’t think you are above sin- the sin they perhaps are struggling with. Gal 6:2 gives great counsel on dealing with others. In gentleness keeping an eye on yourself less you and I fall into the same sin.
3.- DO GOOD CONTINUALLY – DON’T BE TURNED ASIDE. –{v 9,17-19, 27-35}
CONTINUE TO LOVINGLY DO GOOD. Jesus continued to love others and reach out to do them good. So too can and must you. Don’t be turned aside
4.- DO EXPECT REJECTION -. A REASON TO REJOICE; -{v 22-23}
Don’t be surprised when You are rejected and suffer for your identification with the LORD Jesus. Rejoice
5.- BE A WISE BUILDER. –{46-49}
- Do Build Your Life On A Solid Foundation- The Word of God!
Jesus defines wisdom and that is to choose to build your life on the Word of God and call others to do likewise. There are only two foundations, the Word of God, and all other foundations are false and lead to destruction- eternally. Don’t be afraid to lovingly point it out to others out of concern for their soul and to encourage followers of Christ to keep being a wise builder!
READ THE SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES noted above and allow the Spirit of God to minister to you through His Word to help strengthen your faith “In Christ” and be able to help others likewise.
Don’t Be Intimidated
Don’t Be A Hypocrite
Do Good -Don’t Turn Aside
