我夜间的歌曲《路加福音》
Text: Luke 9: 21-22
THE LORD JESUS AS THE CHRIST OF GOD
1. The Disciples were strictly instructed.
a. Not to make this truth known widely.
“And He strictly warned and commanded them to tell this to no one…”
Luke 9:21
b. There were reasons why this instruction was given.
i. The Disciples were not strong in their faith yet.
ii. They were still not sufficiently instructed in Doctrine.
FORETELLING OF SUFFERING AND DEATH
1. The Teachings of the Lord Jesus had emphasised the following:
a. The Kingdom of God Luke 4
b. Faith in the Lord Jesus Luke 7
c. The lifestyle of a true believer Luke 6
2. A New additional teaching:
a. The Lord Jesus began to speak of His personal suffering.
“The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes…”
Luke 9:22a
i. Suffering will be acute and intense.
ii. Rejection by the religious leaders of the land.
b. He foretells His death.
“And be killed…”
Luke 9:22b
