Luke 9:46-62 Sermon Notes

Q & A with Jesus!

The Context - Questions by Believers

The Gospel is the Good News of the Cross and Resurrection of Jesus Christ by which we become the Righteousness of God. 

The Perspective - Believers are Co-Laborers with Jesus.

I Corinthians 3:9 - For we are God's 

fellow workers (Co-Laborers). 

Series of Q & A between John and Jesus:

Luke 9:48 - For he who is least among you all is the one who is great.”

Luke 9:50 - for the one who is not against you is for you.”

#3, Jesus rebukes John.

Question Answer

Who is the greatest? The least among you.

Who is with us? Those not against us.

Who is against us? Rebuke

Raises an issue - What Question am I asking Jesus?

This is very honoring.    

Jesus is honoring me as a Co-Laborer. 

This makes sense to me.   Adult learning is topic driven.  

Jesus is paying attention to us.

Three more interactions occur.  

Luke 9:58 - the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”

Luke 9:60 - go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”

Luke 9:62 - looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”

Question Answer

Who is the greatest? I am the least.

Who is with us? I go and proclaim the K of God.

Who is against us? I do not look back.

Immediate Application - What Question am I asking Jesus?

The follow up Question - Do I listen for the answer?
