Ken Boa teaches on the parable of the unrighteous steward and its application to us today, explaining that believers should leverage the temporal things of this earth for the eternal things of heaven.
Ken Boa describes how Jesus responds to the grumbling of the scribes and Pharisees with three parables; all show how they should've been rejoicing instead of grumbling, for that which was lost has now been found.
In Luke 7, we see Jesus' expanding ministry, which evokes a dual reaction of either growing belief or growing rejection. Luke in particular emphasizes the perfect humanity of Jesus as the fulfillment of the ideal Man and His compassion on people from all classes of society.
In this chapter of Jesus' birth and youth, we see the third and fourth of four hymns in Luke's Gospel: the Gloria in Excelsis of the heavenly host and the Nunc Dimittis of Simeon.
The most comprehensive of the four Gospels, Luke is a beautifully written book that documents the perfect humanity of Jesus and presents Him as the Son of Man who seeks and saves the lost.
