Text: Luke 12: 11-12

WARNING ABOUT HOSTILITY

“Now when they bring you to the synagogues and magistrates and authorities, do not worry about how or what you should answer, or what you should say. For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.”

Luke 12:11-12

1. The Lord Jesus warned His Disciples about possible hostility.

a. Some may be brought to the rulers of synagogues.

b. Others may be brought before magistrates.

c. Still others may be brought to “authorities”.

2. This is like a gradation of hostility.

a. Synagogue rulers

i. They have limited authority.

ii. The worst they can do is to excommunicate a person.

b. Magistrates

i. They have authority to jail people.

ii. They may even order corporal punishment.

c. Authorities

i. This could refer to kings.

ii. They may have the authority to sentence a person to death.

4. How may one face such hostilities?

a. There need not be worry or fear.

b. There is no need to know how we can answer the authorities.

c. God will be there to grant much-needed grace and strength.

5. The special work of the Holy Spirit.

a. He will do a special work in us.

b. He will teach us what to say to those who may interrogate us.

c. May we be comforted by this promise!

经文：路加福音 12：11-12
