Beautiful Savior
3rd Sunday of Epiphany, sermon on Luke 4:16-30 (YouTube, start at 43:30)
I. Intro –
Epiphany progression
Wisemen come
to worship the Beautiful Savior – Jesus
Then He is
anointed for the Ministry – at His baptism
Then He make
the first miracle – at Cana of Galilee
Now we are
reading how He preached the Word in His home town
II.
Preaching in His hometown
Habit of
going to “church”
Bible is ONE
story
The Story of
many promises: (1) proclaim good news to the poor, (2) liberty to captives, (3) recovering sight to the blind, (4) liberty to the oppressed, (5) proclaim the year of the LORD's favor.
This story
is about Beautiful Savior Jesus
But they did
not need the fulfilment of these promises – they wanted messiah of their own
image
III. Take
away
Did anything
change?
People still
want to fit Jesus into their picture frame trimming here and there.
But Word of the Lord Endures Forever – FC, Summary, 1: We believe, teach, and confess that the only rule and norm according to which all teachings, together with all teachers, should be evaluated and judged (2 Timothy 3:15-17) are the prophetic and apostolic Scriptures of the Old and New Testament alone.
His promises are still true.
They are for you!
