Gospel of Luke: Advent - Chapter 5

 Good evening.  This weekend has been filled with Christmas preparations.  As I mentioned yesterday, we got our tree and started decorating the house.  Today we finished decorating the inside of the house and decorated the tree.  Yesterday we also did some baking and made gingerbread cookies.  It's definitely Christmastime when my grandmother's sifter and cookie cutters come out. I thought I'd share a couple fun pictures today and then dive into some observations from Luke Chapter 5. 



Do you have any special recipes that you like to bake with your family?

So fun...and now some thoughts on Luke chapter 5:

Jesus is....

- Our bountiful supplier (vs. 4-8)

- Not bound by the laws of nature - He commands nature (vs. 4-8)

- Worth leaving the things of this world to follow Him **Jesus is better** (vs. 11, 28)

- Jesus prioritizes prayer (vs. 16)

- Healer (vs. 17)

- Forgiver of sins (vs. 20)

- Son of Man with authority to forgive sins (vs. 24)

- Minister to the "greatest" sinners, those seen as "more" sinful by society; He eats with them. (vs. 29-30)

- The Bridegroom (vs. 34) *See Paul's letters for more on the church being the bride of Christ. 


What caught your eye in this chapter?
