Luke Chapter 1 Discussion Page 12

There is always a period of training and preparation before manifestation. John was undergoing training and also recieving instructions from d lord which will help him answer the questions of life( john 1:19-23). We are also expected to d same.

The Spirit in Elijah and the Spirit in John the Baptist is the same Spirit that belongs in the HeaRt of believers today. God is not divided, there is one body, one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling, Jew and Gentile. Its the Spirit of Christ. In the psalms it says "In the fullness of this book, its written of me{JESUS]"

Elisabeth hid herself according to the will of GOD so she could rejoice in the Lord for what He had done by taking away her reproach. We too must rejoice in the Lôrd for saving us and giving us a new name Christians. In the fulness ôf time GOD sent Mary to cônfirm what GOD had done to her cousin Elisabeth. For with GOD nothing shall be impossible.

Mary said my soul doth magnify the Lord. Thank God for the humility of Mary. After hearing the news from Gabriel that she will bare the Lord Jesus Christ. She said behold the handmaiden of the Lord, and be it unto me according to thy Word. Mary trusted and obeyed, and John leaped for joy in the womb of Elizabeth at the sixth month. John would be the forerunner of the Lord, and would turn the hearts of the fathers unto their children. Humble thyself under the mighty hand of God, and in due time thou shall be exalted.

God who is rich in mercy has given his word of prophecy to reach out to people who carry him big with his tender mercies.It is an agelong Promise that we can bank on.I key myself into this

Lord god said to call him Emmanuel why "HE"got named Jeshua {Jesus}.The "good shepard, "carpenter""master""son of man""king of kings""the messiah" were some of his names that people referred him by in those days.Confused.

This scripture strikes a chord in my heart as I hear the calling of the Lord upon my life. People go about in this world, often cavalierly, as if they created themselves. They put food to their mouths without giving thanks to the Sustainer of All, and continuously pat themselves on the back for a job well done, when it is by the grace of God that they were given their wherewithal to complete the task. We must give honor to God for all that He has done, for all the he has created and continues to create, and show gratitude for the smallest to the largest accomplishments in life.

I believe that Luke 1:64 is a lesson that the word of God is supposed to be believed and not doubted. But if you repent after you doubt all of your sins of doubting The Lord is forgiven for God is a merciful Father... That is if you doubted The Lord. Nobody's perfect except for God an Jesus but if you believe then we will all reach salvation!

I am a true believer and I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me. My hands are blessed, my family is blessed and His favour is upon me in Jesus name! Being blessed is being empowered to conquer, to have dominion and to be fruitful. I am happy that I believe!

Very Powerful Blessings!

Very powerful. A blessing to the soul.

Why were the people marveled at Zacharia's answer?

How do the writers of St. Luke and St. John explain their purpose in writing their accounts of Jesus' life?

@Tonya,
We should always examine ourselves ( 2 Corinthians 13:5; 1 Corinthians 11:31, 32), according to the scriptures, in order to find out how we measure up in God’s eyes. To be careful about making blanket statements about what we think on how God views us. It is a known fact that most humans see themselves as better than they really are. The measuring standard is Jesus Christ ( Ephesians 4:13). This is why we must be born again in Christ Jesus and grow in the grace and knowledge of our lord Jesus Christ ( 2 Peter 3:18).

Luke is a medical doctor and writes about Jesus (with leadership of holy spirit) as a man. Luke also spends most of his time with the apostle Paul on all his journeys. Mary, the mother of Jesus was highly regarded by God, yet she needed a saviour just like the rest of us ( Luke 1:47).

Inspiring. I learned Mary spoke of having a soul and spirit while Jesus said I commend my spirit to You (Father), on the cross. Hollywood version says soul.

I know that I am blessed and highly favored.

Luke 1 is the best important bible section and gives inference how our savior, Jesus Christ was born.

Luke is a great chapter about obedience, faith, and believing in Jesus.

Why did Zacharias doubt when Gabriel told him he would have a son? Just as Gabriel told Mary nothing is impossible with God. Mary is highly rewarded for her faith, for she proclaimed behold the handmaiden of the Lord, be it unto to me according to thy word. Faith is what moves the hand of God, and not doubt. So Zacharias repented after the angel told him he would be dumb, and speechless, until God brought to pass these things in his season. So have faith in God, and He will move any mountain that you may be facing in your life at this time.

This verse could be indicating that Mary is actually referring to God the father as Her Savior. Jews, before Jesus, Had to believe that God was going to save them. This was through strict adherence to the Law and sacrificing for their sins not through faith in Jesus the Christ who had not yet died for their sins. So in effect, God the Father would have been known as their Savior.

It is an amazing scripture.

Our God does not tell lies, he always promises his children and also fulfill his promises, that's why we call him God the Almighty. The unchangeable.

alots of miracles
thank Jesus!!!
AMEN!!!
