You Must Meet John the Baptist First To Meet Jesus Correctly (Luke 1:67-80)]]> Thu, 10 Nov 2022 02:35:00 +0000 The New Life Mission https://permalink.castos.com/podcast/48305/episode/1315618 https://sermons-on-the-gospel-of-luke-iii-shouldnt-the-r8ll.castos.com/episodes/1-you-must-meet-john-the-baptist-first-to-meet-jesus-correctly-luke-167-80 Today’s Scripture passage is about the prophecy on John, the son of Zachariah. Zachariah was married to Elizabeth but she couldn’t have a baby before she became old. Having a child was their heart’s desire, so they had been always praying to God for a child. In the meantime, Zachariah’s turn to give sacrifice to God came around. When he was burning incense in the Temple of the Lord, an angel appeared said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John” (Luke 1:13). That is how Zachariah heard and saw an angel. In the past our Lord Himself and His angels used to appear in person before people and His servants. This was a common case in the Old Testament days before Jesus came to this earth as Savior.

Satan tempted Him by asking Him if He was really the Savior of mankind and the Son of God, and whether He really believed in God. Through this account, Jesus Christ is teaching us about the temptations that may come in our way—that is, He is teaching us how to overcome the temptation of Satan by showing us how He Himself was also tempted by Satan, and how He overcame it.

It would be truly wonderful if all Church members were doing God’s work with one faith and one heart, but my heart is troubled when this is not the case. Throughout his lifetime of ministry, the Apostle Paul also struggled the most when he found some people in God’s Church who did not believe in the righteousness of God even as they claimed to believe in it. Referring to such people, the Apostle Paul said that they were interested only in their own greed. That’s because even though these people professed to believe in Jesus as their Savior, they actually cared only about their own flesh rather than believing in the righteousness of God.

I must start with talking about soccer today. I played soccer with the brothers here and it was good because the wives of the pastors cheered us on a lot. I was able to show my soccer skills to them. I scored one goal today. I usually score a goal or two whenever I play a soccer game and I think that is because of God’s blessing and help. Actually, I could have scored five more goals, but it is regretful that I could not score any more because the brothers of my team did not pass me the ball.

Really, there are not many people who think they are the main characters of this Scripture passage here.
One of the Pharisees invited Jesus to the dinner. The Word from the passage states that a woman in the village who was a sinner visited Jesus when Jesus was sitting in the home of a Pharisee. It is written, “a woman in the city who was a sinner,” and it means that the woman was a sinner that everyone knows. There were all kinds of rumors about her as a sinner throughout the village. How prevalent the rumors about the woman must have been for it to be recorded like that here? In the past, there was a tendency for rumors to spread rampantly when a person did something special. These days, there is not much interest whether someone is a sinner or not.
