Unit 21 Session 1
REJECTION OF THE MESSIAH
LUKE 4
Jesus is the long-awaited Messiah Who came to bring good news to all people.
With a view toward presenting proof of messiahship, Luke presented an orderly account of the life of Jesus through his Gospel. Filled with connections to the Old Testament, the Gospel of Luke recounts the power of Jesus, the Christ, and affirms the prophecies fulfilled in the events that unfolded throughout His life. Jesus began His public ministry in the insignificant village of Nazareth, His hometown. Here an incredible moment occurred. Jesus attended a local synagogue service, as He had many times before. But in this particular service, Jesus, the son of Mary and Joseph, would claim to be the long-awaited Savior and turn this small town on its head.
Points to consider:
✞ Jesus is the Messiah bringing good news to Israel.
* What characteristics of our triune God are
reflected in this passage?
* If Jesus fulfills God's ultimate promise and
purpose, how should we view our salvation
through Christ?
✞ Jesus is the Prophet bringing grace to the world.
* What are some reasons why people might refuse
to listen to God's mouthpieces?
*How would you describe the relationship between
saving faith and works?
✞ Jesus is the Son experiencing rejection by His own.
* Why is admitting our sin so hard to do?
