Luke – Chapter 24

  • You are witnesses of these things. Luke 24:48 – The disciples had the blessing of seeing everything that Jesus had done including His resurrection. Jesus commanded them to now go and share all that they had seen and experienced with everyone who would listen. We though have been witnesses to many mighty works of God as well. God has moved in your life or someone else’s life. You have seen scripture and how powerful it is. We have been witnesses of some amazing works of God. Now like the disciples it’s our turn to go and share what we have seen. Today, seek out an opportunity to share some of what you’ve seen God do with someone. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 629
  • Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46 and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead,47 and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. Luke 24:45-48 – As we wrap up the book of Luke today, Jesus Himself gives us the mission once again. He opens their eyes to scripture so that they can fully understand why everything they just saw Him go through had to happen. All this that He went through, and their being witness to it all, was to make a pathway for people to be able to repent of their sins and find forgiveness. Their role now was to start where they were at and begin the mission of the great commission. Today, we have finished reading the gospel of Luke. We have read the passages where we see Jesus heal the sick and give sight to the blind. We have read how Jesus has power of the storms and the enemy. We know the message of repentance and forgiveness of our sins. Now, because we have been witnesses to all this, it’s our time to share the good news. Beginning from where you are at today, begin the mission of the great commission. You have seen, heard, and felt God to be good, now it’s time to tell this to others. Does this mean you have to start knocking on doors of those in your city to have gospel conversations? You sure can do that, but there are far more ways to share the gospel. Use social media, send cards to people, invite someone to coffee or over for a game night. Find yourself in contact with people, then be intentional with that time with them. Jesus is coming soon, let’s make sure we are doing our part of sharing the good news of salvation with as many as we can. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 2341
