Luke continues with Jesus spending the night in prayer as he finds strength in communion with God as responds to opposition, prepares to choose the twelve and anticipates extensive ministry. After choosing the twelve, Jesus comes down and ministers and teaches again. Here we have the Sermon on the Plain from Luke. Some of the information is similar to the Sermon on the Mount. As Jesus begins this sermon, he specifically calls the disciples to understand the priorities of the Kingdom of God and to live in light of them.
Luke writes to strengthen believers, to address misperceptions of unbelievers, while emphasizing the divine and perfect human aspects of Jesus’ life! Jesus alone is the Lord and Redeemer of all humanity! He offers us the assurance that God is at work, accomplishing his purposes, that Jesus is God incarnate and that true followers of Jesus are in reality the people of God, that the Holy Spirit is essential for our every response and action and that no matter who you are or where you’re from Jesus died to rescue you! Jesus is the fulfillment of all the promises of God and though every promise is not yet realized, we can be certain that one day they will be! Luke writes to give certainty and assurance to believers – you can be certain that everything about Jesus is true!
