Luke-The Investigative Gospel
You’ve Got What It Takes
Luke 3:21-38
In the text we’re reading today we find part of the greatest epic ever told, and here Luke reveals to us the emergence of the hero.
You strip the Old Testament down and it becomes the story of God preparing the way for the hero to emerge.
Today God is writing the epic of your life. I don’t care whether you prefer westerns, romances or sci-fi, the story is the same.
Know why you’re here
He had come to earth for one purpose, and that was to glorify the Father.
You have absolutely got to know that you are here for one reason and only one reason: to bring glory to the Father!
Burn the bridges
The only way to follow Christ is to abandon yourself to Him. Abandon everything to Him.
Step into the river
Put a torch to the bridges you’ve been keeping erected in your life just in case things don’t work out, and step down into the river where a glorious and exciting future awaits you.
You’re going to experience…
…The fellowship of the Son.
When you abandon everything to walk with God; simply to be with Him, you’re going to be following in the very footsteps of Christ.
…The presence of the Holy Spirit.
When you abandon everything to God, the Holy Spirit is going to be in your corner.
…The affirmation of the father.
God the Father expressed in just a few simple words His love and affirmation for the Son.
