The Agony in the Garden, Part 1

Luke 22:39-42 Turn in your Bibles to Luke chapter 22. Luke chapter 22, we are following our Lord Jesus Christ. We’ve just been with him and his disciples in the upper room, and they are in this text that we’re in today, Luke 22:39. They’ve left the upper room and they’re heading to the Garden of Gethsemane. Today, as we enter into the Garden of Gethsemane with our Lord, we are wading into some deep, deep waters; really deeper than…

Sifted and Strengthened

Luke 22:31-34 Well, turn in your Bibles to Luke 22, as we’re looking at the final instructions of our Lord to prepare his Apostles before his death. Last week, the Lord set before his men a vision of future glory and honor, which we see is our own future glory and honor as well, as we saw in the text that we went through last time, Luke 22:28-30, and then other Scriptures as well, that show our involvement in that…

The Reward of Our Lord

Luke 22:28-30 Well, turn in your Bibles to Luke chapter 22. We are working our way through Jesus’ final instructions to his Apostles, which he’s giving just before his death. And I’d like to begin by reading this section that we’re in, the whole section, starting with the institution of the Lord’s Supper, which is in Luke 22:19.  Luke 22:19, and following, “And when he had taken some bread and given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them,…

The Highest Aspiration

Luke 22:24-27 The Highest Aspiration Luke 22:24-27 January 27, 2025 Well, we return to Luke 22 in our study of the Gospel of Luke, and we’re reading the final instructions of our Lord to his men, his twelve Apostles, before his death for sins. Our Lord, as we know, as he’s been predicting and telling us all through this Gospel narrative, he will soon be betrayed into the hands of sinners. He’ll endure the false accusations of sinners in corrupt…

How Jesus Processed Suffering

Luke 22:21-23 Well, the last time we were in the Gospel of Luke, we were joining the Lord and his apostles in the upper room, an intimate time of believing fellowship for the Twelve and Jesus, one of them, those 12, being false. And so when he departed, it was the Eleven and Jesus. And so those men, sharing that intimate believing fellowship. And our Lord’s desire in this Upper Room Discourse, this time with his disciples, is to teach…

Jesus Orders the Supper 

Luke 22:14-20 We’re going to prepare our hearts for the blessing of celebrating the communion ordinance. And in preparing our hearts, it’s the Lord who has brought us into a special text in our study of Luke’s Gospel, and it’s the institution of the Lord’s table. This is what the Lord set up for us, set this table, prepared it for us, and invites us to come. So if you would turn to Luke 22 in your Bibles.  Luke 22,…

The Preparation for Passover

Luke 22:7-13 You can open your Bibles to Luke 22 as we come to verse 7 of Luke 22, and as we come to this section, Luke 22:7 through 13, we are less than 24 hours away from the crucifixion. With all that’s ahead, it’s amazing to think about all that can happen in a single 24 hour period. But we’re not going to cover it in 24 hours, I can guarantee you that. Last week we studied just the…

Solving the Jesus Problem

Luke 22:1-6 Well, we are entering into the final section of Luke’s gospel this morning. It’s a very long chapter at 71 verses, second only to the first chapter of Luke, which we have survived. So you’ll survive this one too. Chapter 1 of Luke is 80 verses, this is only 71, so we’re, we’re going to cruise right through it. Turn to Luke 22 in your Bibles this morning. I realized that this is a political season and we…

Watchful, Prayerful Saints

Luke 21:34-38 Well, we are with mixed feelings, for me anyway, coming to the end of this amazing chapter, Luke 21 and Jesus’ teaching on the Olivet Discourse. This great chapter along with the parallels in Matthew 24 and Mark 13, this chapter stands with other eschatological teachings such as Luke 12, Luke 17. All these passages are seminal to the vital New Testament doctrine of last things, of what is coming in the end.  Michael Allen in his, no…
