23: The parable of the Good Samaritan & Jesus and Martha (Luke 10:25 – 42)

They knew the law, but failed to grasp God’s intention in the law. And, to have fellowship with the Lord is more important than to work for the Lord. πŸ‘‰ Read Luke 10:25 - 42 Q1. Why did the expert of the law ask, "Who is my neighbor?" (V29) Answers πŸ‘‰ ANS: He wanted to justify what he was doing: claiming that he keeps the commandment while despising the Samaritans. The debate “who is my neighbor?” arose because Bible teachers were trying to define the limits of obligation within the Law, especially from Leviticus 19:18. Since the command says “love your neighbor” and is tied to “your people,” it naturally raised a legal question: who exactly falls within that command, and who does not? This question became more pressing when considered alongside Leviticus 19:34, which commands love for the foreigner. This created a tension: does “neighbor” remain within Israel, or does it extend beyond? In a law-centered teaching culture, this kind of boundary-setting was normal. Th...

22: The Lord of Harvest sent 72 workers (Luke 10:1 – 24)

Chapters 9 and 10 in the Gospel of Luke present two complementary aspects of ministry: following Jesus and harvesting for the Kingdom of God. Chapter 9 emphasizes discipleship—the attitude of truly following Jesus, highlighted in v.23 with the call to deny oneself and take up the cross—while chapter 10 focuses on the authority of the King, seen in themes such as the Lord of the harvest, the coming judgment, Satan’s fall, and the greater joy that one’s name is written in heaven. πŸ‘‰ Read Luke 10:1 - 24 Q1. Though there seem to be many churches and workers, there is still a shortage of true laborers. Therefore, we must pray to the (        ) to send out workers. As we go into a world often hostile to Jesus, we must follow His instructions carefully. Excessive resources or dependence on human fellowship can hinder the ministry (v. ___). We are not to judge, but to seek God’s blessing (v. ___), admitting Him as the Lord of the harvest. Rather than looking for bette...

21: Betrayal: the danger of Seeking greatness in following Jesus (Luke 9:44 – 62)

After announcing Jesus’ suffering, the author teaches us the way of following Jesus. This passage warns us the wrong attitude of those in ministry, of seeking of greatness. πŸ‘‰ Read Luke 9:44 - 62 Q1. We often find it difficult to understand Jesus’ words in Chapter 9 correctly. That is why Jesus calls us to deny ourselves. The disciples misunderstood the role of the Messiah, and as a result, they also had a mistaken understanding of what it means to follow Him. Look for phrases in verses 18–62 (beginning with Peter’s confession) that reveal the contrast between the disciples’ expectations and Jesus’ teaching.  Answers πŸ‘‰ ANS: 33, 45, ( 21, 27, 41, 48, 50, 55, 60) V21: “But he strictly commanded them not to tell this to anyone.” If Jesus were proclaimed as the Messiah to people who expected an earthly kingdom, it would distort and hinder the ministry of the cross. V27: What Jesus meant by “seeing the kingdom of God” was different from what they expected. V33: Peter was so o...
