Divisions (run-on
sentence OK, direct verbiage from Scripture/Principles are Aims for each
Division):
1.Jesus heals a centurion’s servant and raises a widow’s
only son (Luke 7:1-17)
Principle: God
heals the sick and raises the dead.
2.Jesus answers John the Baptist’s disciples and tells
the people about him (Luke 7:18-35)
Principle:
3.Jesus goes to dinner at a Pharisee’s house and forgives
a sinful woman’s sins (Luke 7:36-50)
Principle: Those
who are forgiven much, love much.
Subject Sentence (10-word
sentence with proper structure showing exactly where you are in Scripture):
Jesus heals a servant, speaks about John and forgives sins.
Aim (“To Cause My
Audience To…” Know, See, etc.):
TCMATK Jesus touches people in many ways and He’s worthy
of all praise.
Application (not
yes or no question. Meant to bring about
heart change):
1.In what areas of your life are you (or should you be)
asking Jesus for healing and resurrection?
2.How are you preparing the way for those you know to
encounter Jesus?
3.How are you showing your love to Jesus?
How would I describe God in this passage? He is Jehovah Rapha, my Healer. He is the Resurrection and the Life. He is my Defender. He is the receiver of my worship and praise.
Who are “the lost”? The lost are the people who don’t do anything
with what Jesus says. His message hasn’t
impacted them. The elders of the Jews
who said the centurion deserved to have Jesus heal his servant because he loves
their nation and built their synagogue.
Perhaps the centurion who asked Jesus to come and when He was almost
there, sent friends to tell Him not to trouble Himself because he doesn’t
deserve to have Him under his roof. Yet
Jesus commends him for his faith. The
crowds following Him. The crowd with the
widow. Jon’s disciples. The Pharisee who invited Jesus to dinner. The other guests.
Where do I see the Holy Spirit’s power? I see the Holy Spirit’s power in where Jesus goes,
what He does, how long He stays, when He moves on from there. Jesus’ whole life is about doing the Father’s
will and displaying the Spirit’s power.
The obedience is just as powerful as healing the centurion’s servant or
raising the son of the widow of Nain.
His words to John the Baptist’s disciples are power. Fulfilling prophesy is power. His acceptance of the sinful woman at Simon
the Pharisee’s house is power. His
parable to Simon and the other dinner guests is power. FORGIVING SINS IS POWER!!!
Where do I see an emphasis on prayer? Prayer was definitely happening or this power
wouldn’t be unleashed. This makes me
wonder… Prayer is the real work. I don’t see any specific references to prayer
in these verses, but I know that the relationship between the Father and the
Son is the true source of the power on display in this chapter. So
here’s what I ponder: if my prayer life were even a fraction as vibrant as
Jesus’ prayer life, how much would the Holy Spirit be doing through me? If my ego would get out of the way and I
would quit stealing God’s glory, what would He accomplish with my life? What opportunities am I missing because I’m
not listening…not obeying…relying too much on myself and not trusting Him???
Where do I see joy? I can only imagine the widow crumbling as her
son sat up. A great intake of air as the
fear of her fate without a provider is crushed beneath Jesus’ healing
hands. The tears that freely flowed as
her heart water is released while she promises to always trust God in the
future. The joy that Jesus lived because
of His obedience. I want to live that
joy.
How could this joy be my strength today? I can obey God. I can trust God. I can allow Jesus to crush my fears. Help me, Lord.
What do I love about Jesus? I love His compassion. I love how He disciplines so gently. I love His obedience. I love His availability. I love His comfort.
What references to food do I see in this
passage? The dinner at Simon the Pharisee’s
house. Bread, wine, water, fish, cheese,
olives, figs… I don’t know what they
ate. But I do know that any meal with
Jesus is a good one. I need to quit
blowing through mealtime prayers by saying them in the kitchen or in front of
the TV. I’ll go home tonight, break down
my puzzle, set my table, put aside distractions and present dinner…with a
proper giving of thanks.
If this were the only page torn out of a
Bible I possessed, what would I treasure about it? Oh so much…
Jesus heals the almost dead without having to be in the same room! Jesus commends faith. Jesus saves for eternity and eternity begins
now. Jesus’ heart goes out to people. Jesus raises the dead! Jesus delivers us from desperate
circumstances. Jesus answers our
questions. Jesus enters where He is
invited. Jesus receives our gifts. Jesus knows our hearts and our minds. Jesus forgives sins. Jesus gives us peace.
