  Luke chapter 3 let us pray Lord God Almighty, yes, we love you
• 0:14
  Jesus, we love you. Thank you so much for another
• 0:18
  day God, we worship you today in spirit and truth.
• 0:22
  We have come expectantly knowing that you're going to do mighty
• 0:27
  work in our lives, knowing that this book contains all of the
• 0:33
  truth that we need for this time, Lord, for this day and for
• 0:37
  this hour. God, we empty ourselves of
• 0:42
  ourselves. God, we get out of the way,
• 0:44
  Father, and we give you the whole space.
• 0:47
  We give you all of today. We give you our entire lives.
• 0:52
  God, nothing held back. Lord, we give it all to you, not
• 0:56
  just some. Lord, we surrender all.
• 1:01
  And Lord, I pray right now that you will pour out blessings upon
• 1:05
  blessings and healing power from on high and let it flow, Lord,
• 1:11
  through us and to our loved ones and to our neighbors.
• 1:15
  God, let them see you in US. Lord, let us be the light and
• 1:20
  the salt that you desire for us to be.
• 1:24
  Lord, we love you, King Jesus. Lord, hide me and hide my words.
• 1:30
  Hide my thoughts. Lord, let this be all about you.
• 1:34
  King Jesus, we love you. Thank you, mercy and glory.
• 1:44
  God, I pray, I pray that you, Lord, will have your will and
• 1:50
  have your way. Let your Kingdom come here on
• 1:55
  this earth. Lord, forgive us for our many
• 1:58
  sins. Lord, we confess and repent.
• 2:01
  Lord, we have a change of mind, God.
• 2:03
  And give us the strength, Lord, to rid our lives of anything
• 2:09
  that's holding us back from experiencing the fullness of
• 2:14
  what you have for us for this little lifetime.
• 2:17
  God, I pray we can consecrate the temple.
• 2:21
  Lord, in the name of Jesus, I pray for the strength to get rid
• 2:25
  of anything that does not belong.
• 2:27
  Lord, in the name of Jesus, I pray Holy Spirit, you will
• 2:32
  highlight what it is that we need to do.
• 2:36
  Lord, to move into a deeper, more meaningful relationship
• 2:43
  with you. King Jesus, reveal to us, God
• 2:48
  the blind spots in our lives. Help us Lord to know what it is
• 2:54
  that you would desire of us for today, for such a time as this.
• 2:59
  Lord, let us be found with our hand to the plough, lock eyes,
• 3:04
  lock step with you, the King of Kings, of the Lord of Lords.
• 3:10
  Jesus Christ, we love you and this is your holy name that we
• 3:16
  pray. Amen.
• 3:20
  Let's start in verse one now, in the 15th year of the reign of
• 3:30
  Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and
• 3:36
  Herod being Tetchart of Galilee and his brother Philip, Tetchart
• 3:41
  of Ituria and of the region of Trachonitus and Lacenaeus the
• 3:49
  tetrarch of Abilene. These are real people, friends
• 3:53
  in real places. Friends in history proves that
• 3:56
  this was a literal time in the blip of humanity.
• 4:03
  We know that these men were rulers over this literal
• 4:09
  geographical place on planet Earth and we can trace it back
• 4:14
  through secular history. What an amazing book that we
• 4:18
  hold in our hands that it is trustworthy and true and able to
• 4:22
  be fact checked. And that is the purpose that
• 4:26
  Luke wants us to know here. He points to a geopolitical time
• 4:32
  in the history of mankind to show us that this is a reliable
• 4:38
  source, that he has fact checked everything and he has compiled
• 4:42
  it for all Theophilus over there to let him know that what he
• 4:47
  believes is trustworthy and is true and is reliable.
• 4:52
  And you can build your life upon this book, friends.
• 4:56
  To Anacin Caiaphas being the high priest, the word of God
• 5:01
  came unto. John, the son of.
• 5:03
  Zacharias in the wilderness Sometimes we must get alone,
• 5:08
  friends. Sometimes we must go and find a
• 5:14
  place to drown out all of the humdrum of our busy life.
• 5:22
  We must get to a place where we can get quiet and receive from
• 5:27
  the Lord and hear. John the Baptist's whole life
• 5:31
  has been this moment, waiting for this moment of being in the
• 5:35
  wilderness. And the word of God came to him,
• 5:39
  and I imagine it was like fire in his bones that he could not
• 5:42
  shut up. He could not be quiet if he
• 5:46
  wanted to once this word reached him.
• 5:49
  And I pray that God gives you a word today to speak over
• 5:54
  yourself and speak over your loved ones and speak over your
• 5:58
  neighbors and speak over this wicked and perverse generation.
• 6:03
  Friends three and he came into all the country about Jordan
• 6:10
  preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of
• 6:15
  sins. So here this was John the
• 6:18
  Baptist whole main ministry. Here it is the baptism.
• 6:24
  You can notice that he's all around the Jordan.
• 6:29
  He's going up and down the Jordan and he is crying out.
• 6:36
  He's a voice in the wilderness crying out.
• 6:38
  Prepare the way for the Messiah. And he tells him how it is by
• 6:44
  repenting. And this is not a harsh word.
• 6:48
  It is a very loving word. And if you woke up this morning,
• 6:52
  God's giving you another chance, friends.
• 6:55
  His mercies are new every day, friends.
• 6:57
  Don't sit and dwell on the past. Today is a new day, friends.
• 7:02
  Today is the day of salvation, friends.
• 7:04
  Give your lives to the Lord today, friends.
• 7:08
  And here John the Baptist is telling them, do not think that
• 7:13
  because of your lineage to Abraham that you're going to
• 7:17
  make it there. And here was a common
• 7:21
  misconception in the Jewish culture is because of their
• 7:26
  lineage to Abraham, no Jew could ever go to hell.
• 7:29
  And here John the Baptist is letting them know they must
• 7:33
  repent of all of their sins and shortcomings.
• 7:36
  They must come and be baptized and they need to be washed
• 7:44
  clean. Friends and you and I, we need
• 7:47
  this as well. We need to confess our sins and
• 7:50
  to repent and to turn away from all the things that are holding
• 7:54
  us back from experiencing the love in the fullness of what God
• 7:58
  has for our lives and experiencing God's completeness
• 8:03
  in our lives, friends, and kicking all of the things that
• 8:07
  are holding us back to sinful thoughts and behaviors and
• 8:11
  actions. Friends, we need to have the
• 8:15
  strength to get rid of those things and to let the word wash
• 8:20
  over our minds and hear John the Baptist is coming and he's
• 8:23
  letting them know to that they need to prepare the way and
• 8:27
  prepare their hearts and minds for receiving what Jesus Christ
• 8:32
  is about to do when he arrives on the scene.
• 8:37
  And this remission of sins, this is a clear conscience, friends.
• 8:42
  It's not just a one time event, friends, that we go and confess
• 8:48
  we need Jesus every day. And yes, we can have blessed
• 8:53
  assurance. Yes, we do not need to doubt our
• 8:57
  salvation. But we also need to make sure
• 9:02
  that we take a a long, hard look into the things that we are
• 9:09
  doing and saying and make sure that they align with this good
• 9:13
  book. And how would you know if you're
• 9:15
  not in this good book? And we are not autonomous
• 9:18
  friends. We cannot operate apart from the
• 9:23
  Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit whispers to
• 9:26
  you and the Holy Spirit tells you when you make mistakes.
• 9:30
  And we need to obey that still small voice that tells us all of
• 9:36
  the things that do not please the Lord.
• 9:41
  For as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah, the
• 9:46
  prophet saying, the voice of one crying in the wilderness,
• 9:51
  prepare you the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
• 9:55
  And this was the office in the ministry of John the Baptist.
• 9:59
  And he had known it since he was born.
• 10:01
  He had known it ever since he was a little boy.
• 10:04
  I'm sure that Elizabeth and Zechariah shared with him all
• 10:09
  the magnificent circumstances surrounding his birth, of how
• 10:14
  they were well stricken in age and how he was called to be a
• 10:18
  Nazarite and how he was to prepare the way for the Messiah.
• 10:24
  What an amazing thought. What an amazing time.
• 10:30
  What an amazing ministry that this man was trusted with.
• 10:36
  Five Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and
• 10:41
  hill shall be brought low, and the crooked shall be made
• 10:44
  straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth.
• 10:49
  So here you can see that this is prophesied of what is going to
• 10:54
  happen as Jesus arrives on the scene.
• 10:59
  He's going to change everything. He's going to do some divine
• 11:05
  miracles. He's going to make the people's
• 11:10
  hearts turn towards the Father. And I pray that that is your
• 11:16
  story. 6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
• 11:24
  If you have seen Christ, you have seen God.
• 11:27
  They are synonymous, and this salvation of God is only wrought
• 11:33
  through the blood of Jesus Christ.
• 11:35
  There is no salvation apart from Jesus Christ.
• 11:39
  There's no peace apart from Jesus Christ.
• 11:45
  Seven then said he, to the multitude that came forth to be
• 11:50
  baptized of him. O generation of Vipers, who has
• 11:54
  warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
• 11:57
  He's talking to the Sadducees in the Pharisees, in the Sanhedrin,
• 12:02
  and the Herodians. He's talking to the religious
• 12:05
  folk who have made their converts twice, the sons of hell
• 12:09
  that they are. And he is letting them know that
• 12:14
  God sees them as a brood of Vipers.
• 12:17
  And this is not a very welcoming way to get a seat in the
• 12:21
  synagogue. This is not a very welcoming way
• 12:24
  to be seen as a true prophet. Look at how John the Baptist, he
• 12:29
  did not care about what people thought about him.
• 12:32
  He was about his ministry. He was about the ministry that
• 12:37
  was given to him from birth. He knew what his purpose was.
• 12:41
  And I pray friends, that as you navigate through this life, you
• 12:45
  know why you're here and what God has placed you here for.
• 12:49
  I pray that you find yourself sharing your salvation story
• 12:54
  with many and leading many lives to God the Father through a
• 12:58
  relationship with his Son through the blood of Jesus
• 13:03
  Christ being shed on Calvary friends.
• 13:09
  They bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance.
• 13:14
  And begin not to say within yourselves, we have Abraham to
• 13:18
  our Father. For I say unto you, that God is
• 13:21
  able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
• 13:26
  So here John the Baptist gets right down to it.
• 13:29
  John the Baptist doesn't mince his words.
• 13:32
  He holds no punches. He lets them know that all of
• 13:36
  creation proclaims God's name so that man is without excuse.
• 13:40
  He lets them know that even the rocks will cry out and worship
• 13:45
  unto God Almighty. He lets them know that their
• 13:48
  lineage to Abraham means nothing, that God can raise up
• 13:53
  descendants for Abraham from the stones.
• 13:56
  What they need more than anything is to realize that they
• 13:59
  are lost. They need to realize that they
• 14:03
  are separated from Yahweh. They are separated from the love
• 14:07
  that He has for them. And they've made it all about
• 14:10
  ceremony, and they've made it all about tradition, and they've
• 14:14
  made it all about greed, and they've made it all about
• 14:18
  position and power. And they say we have the temple
• 14:21
  of the Lord, and they say that we have Father Abraham.
• 14:24
  And it's no different for our day and for our hour.
• 14:28
  We think because we have the suit and ties.
• 14:30
  We think because we have the great mausoleums.
• 14:33
  We think that because we have all of the great buildings and
• 14:38
  everything, it proves that God is with us and for us.
• 14:41
  But we need desperately to repent.
• 14:43
  We need desperately to invite God back into our churches and
• 14:48
  back into our families and back into our lives.
• 14:52
  Friends, we need to empty our selves of ourselves and we need
• 14:56
  to be filled with the Holy Spirit and we need to make sure
• 14:59
  we haven't grieved the Holy Spirit.
• 15:01
  We need to make sure we haven't seared our consciences.
• 15:04
  Friends, I pray that today is the day of salvation for you.
• 15:10
  I pray that today is the day that you rid yourself of the
• 15:13
  filth that is holding you back. Friends 9 And now also the axe
• 15:22
  is laid unto the root of the trees.
• 15:25
  Every tree, therefore, which does not bring forth good fruit,
• 15:30
  is cut down and cast into the fire.
• 15:33
  You need to know that the tree that produces no fruit is the
• 15:37
  same as the tree that produces bad fruit.
• 15:42
  They are both cut down and thrown into the fire.
• 15:46
  What God says that we will know each other because of the good
• 15:52
  fruit that we produce. It is a natural overflow and
• 15:55
  it's not human activity. It is the heart of God that is
• 16:00
  placed within us and cultivated. And the flames are fanned,
• 16:05
  friends, and the Holy Spirit is welled up within you, and it's
• 16:09
  full, and it's in His rightful place, and He's acting within
• 16:14
  your own conscience, and he's acting within your own senses.
• 16:18
  And it is a natural overflow, friends, when we're connected to
• 16:21
  the vine, that we will produce much fruit. 10 And the people
• 16:29
  asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
• 16:33
  11 And he answered and said unto them, He that has two coats, let
• 16:39
  him impart to him that has none, and he that has meat, let him do
• 16:44
  likewise. Very simple things, friends,
• 16:48
  when you have love for God and love for your neighbors, you
• 16:51
  cannot just see somebody in the cold.
• 16:54
  You cannot just see somebody hungry and hold back.
• 17:00
  There should be a love for God's creation and a love for his
• 17:06
  people and the love for him. And Jesus modeled for us what it
• 17:10
  is that we are to do and how to do it and when to do it.
• 17:14
  Jesus modeled, and we need sanctification.
• 17:17
  We need to become more like Jesus Christ today than we were
• 17:21
  yesterday. And Jesus did not leave anything
• 17:25
  to interpretation. It's not the interpretation,
• 17:28
  it's obedience, and the love that we have for Jesus Christ
• 17:32
  causes that obedience. Friends. 12 Then came also
• 17:36
  publicans to be baptized and said unto him, Master, what
• 17:41
  shall we do? This was the tax collectors.
• 17:44
  They were collecting the Roman publica.
• 17:47
  They were exacting more than they should, because that's how
• 17:51
  they made a living. And what does John tell them?
• 17:54
  13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is
• 17:58
  appointed you. He's telling them do not be
• 18:01
  thieves, do not steal the people's money, do not
• 18:07
  overcharge your brother's. He did not tell them to come out
• 18:13
  of that office. He told them to make sure that
• 18:18
  they had integrity. And he tells you the same thing
• 18:21
  today. No matter what profession you
• 18:23
  find yourself in, God has placed you there and you have a circle
• 18:27
  of influence that God desires to reach that only you can reach.
• 18:33
  But we need to have integrity. If your life looks no different
• 18:38
  then everyone else's then you have no footing.
• 18:41
  And that is one of the greatest tactics of our enemy is to try
• 18:45
  to take your testimony away from you, to destroy your salvation
• 18:52
  story, to destroy your witness among your Co workers and your
• 18:59
  family. And they see the duplicity and
• 19:02
  hypocrisy in your life. You've lost your grounding.
• 19:06
  You've lost your footing, friends.
• 19:08
  But today you can repent. Today can be the day that you
• 19:13
  turn. Today can be when you start
• 19:16
  gaining some traction. Friends, let today be different,
• 19:21
  and yesterday I pray that today you can confess and let these
• 19:25
  words wash over your mind, friends, and repent, Repent of
• 19:30
  all the things that are holding you back from experiencing the
• 19:33
  fullness that God has for you. 14 And the soldiers likewise
• 19:40
  demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do?
• 19:43
  And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither
• 19:48
  accused any falsely and be content with your wages.
• 19:54
  What a loaded verse here. 14 He's telling the soldiers he did
• 20:00
  not say leave that office. He did not say your office is
• 20:03
  evil. He's telling them to not be
• 20:08
  violent towards any man unnecessarily.
• 20:12
  He's telling them do not accuse people falsely, don't just do it
• 20:17
  for greedy gain. And he's telling them.
• 20:20
  To be content with their wages. And he's telling you the same
• 20:24
  friends, it is not that we need more money.
• 20:28
  We need more contentment within the arena that we find ourselves
• 20:34
  in. So many of us Pierce ourselves
• 20:39
  with so many sorrows because of the love of money, and we do not
• 20:46
  even need to have money to love money.
• 20:49
  You can be poor and be obsessive over money and we do not need
• 20:56
  more money, friends. We need to increase our
• 20:59
  contentment which will flow the the joy of the Lord into our
• 21:05
  houses and lives and minds and hearts and emotions.
• 21:09
  You must make your emotions subject to the truth of God
• 21:15
  Almighty. You cannot act on every emotion.
• 21:20
  You cannot be LED astray by the love of money. 15 And as the
• 21:30
  people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of
• 21:37
  John, whether he was the Christ or not, so here he had so much
• 21:43
  power, and the people held him in such high regard, that they
• 21:47
  wondered, Could this be the Messiah?
• 21:52
  What does he say? 16 John answered, saying unto
• 21:57
  all of I, I indeed baptize you with water, but one mightier
• 22:04
  than I comes in the latchet of whose shoes I'm not worthy to
• 22:08
  unloose. He shall baptize you with the
• 22:12
  Holy Ghost and with fire. I pray that you have experienced
• 22:16
  this baptism of the Holy Ghost. I pray that you are a new
• 22:21
  creation. I pray that you have the mind of
• 22:24
  Christ. I pray that you have the
• 22:27
  strength to perform His will in your life today.
• 22:31
  I pray that the Holy Spirit is filling you and has filled you.
• 22:36
  I pray that you are able to discern right and wrong and that
• 22:42
  you are hearing and receiving from God Almighty.
• 22:47
  He is baptizing us with the Holy Ghost and with fire and this
• 22:51
  fire burns out all the dross in our lives, all the things that
• 22:56
  hold us back. He puts us in the refiners fire
• 22:59
  and he gets rid of all the impurities and the things that
• 23:03
  are keeping us from experiencing the fullness that God has for us
• 23:07
  in this lifetime and the one to come.
• 23:10
  I pray that you are not one who will stand before God and say we
• 23:14
  perform miracles and we prophesied in your name and we
• 23:18
  cast out demons in your name. And he says, depart from me, for
• 23:21
  I never knew you. It was all just an outward
• 23:24
  expression. It was all just a bunch of
• 23:27
  ceremony. It was all just a bunch of
• 23:29
  tradition. And the miracles do not prove
• 23:32
  that God is in your life. We need to know that we know
• 23:37
  that. We know that God is ruling and
• 23:39
  reigning in our hearts and minds.
• 23:41
  And you can have that today, friends, it is a day today,
• 23:45
  today, today, today, today. Surrender.
• 23:49
  And fresh surrender will produce a fresh filling in your life.
• 23:53
  Friends, surrender to His will today.
• 23:56
  Confess all the things that are holding you back today.
• 24:00
  Have a change of heart and a change of mind today.
• 24:03
  And let these words wash over your mind.
• 24:09
  This is the renewal of the mind, friends, that will transform us
• 24:14
  into the men and women that God so desperately desires to use to
• 24:21
  reach this wicked and perverse generation. 17 whose fan is in
• 24:29
  his hand. And he will thoroughly purge his
• 24:32
  floor and he will gather the wheat into the garner, but the
• 24:36
  chaff he will burn with fire. Unquenchable.
• 24:41
  That is what Jesus Christ is good at is He separates the
• 24:44
  sheep from the goats. He is so good at what he does
• 24:48
  and he knows who he knows who is producing this fruit that he
• 24:54
  desires. He knows who belongs to him in
• 25:00
  this fire that's unquenchable. We know that none of us want to
• 25:08
  go through the discipline that God puts us through, but it
• 25:13
  produces the disciples that He's after.
• 25:16
  And it is this refining fire that God uses in our lives to
• 25:22
  produce the pure gold and the pure silver and the precious
• 25:30
  metals that God desires. And He doesn't take you out of
• 25:33
  that fire until He sees a reflection of Himself in you. 18
• 25:40
  And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the
• 25:44
  people. So John was a man who was the
• 25:52
  forerunner for Jesus Christ. He told them the main reason he
• 25:56
  was there was for this baptism and for the repentance of their
• 26:04
  sins and the confession. But he teach many other things.
• 26:10
  19 But Herod the tete chart being reproved by him for
• 26:14
  Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils
• 26:19
  which Herod had done. So we know here that this is a
• 26:24
  loaded verse, that John told Herod that he was not supposed
• 26:31
  to take his brother's wife. And this was such a blemish on
• 26:41
  the life of these leaders. And they were to model for the
• 26:47
  people what it was that they were supposed to do.
• 26:50
  And because he had taken his brother's wife, John felt
• 26:55
  compelled to tell him how wrong it was.
• 26:59
  And here Herodias was very manipulative and she had her
• 27:05
  husband lock John the Baptist up. 20 added.
• 27:10
  Yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
• 27:15
  So perhaps Herod had feared that John would amass everyone
• 27:24
  against him and just to shut him up, he had him locked up.
• 27:29
  John the Baptist had done nothing wrong.
• 27:31
  He had spoken the truth. And don't be surprised when you
• 27:35
  speak the truth if it doesn't get you in trouble with those
• 27:39
  who are choosing and delighting themselves in evil, and they
• 27:44
  refuse to love and they refuse to hear the truth, and they
• 27:49
  don't want to face the music. Friends. 21 Now when all the
• 27:56
  people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also being
• 28:01
  baptized and praying, the heaven was open. 22 And the Holy Ghost
• 28:08
  descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice
• 28:13
  came from heaven, which said, You are my beloved son, and in
• 28:17
  you I am well pleased. So we know the baptism of Jesus
• 28:22
  where John the Baptist told him that he wasn't worthy to do so.
• 28:27
  And Jesus says it must happen. So he conceded and he did it.
• 28:32
  And we know that it was not because Jesus had ever sinned or
• 28:36
  needed any kind of remission for his sins.
• 28:39
  He was perfect. But he identified with us in
• 28:43
  this baptism just as much as he identified with us in dying.
• 28:48
  The death of a criminal on the cross, friends.
• 28:53
  And look at how the Holy Ghost came down like a dove, just like
• 28:58
  whenever the tongues came down on the day of Pentecost.
• 29:01
  This was a sign unto all that Jesus is the Messiah.
• 29:10
  And this voice thundering from on high and speaking and saying
• 29:16
  that God was pleased in what Christ was about to do as he's
• 29:21
  starting his ministry. 23 And Jesus himself began to be about
• 29:28
  30 years of age, being, as was supposed, the son of Joseph.
• 29:36
  Which was the. Son of Heli so here we're going
• 29:40
  to get into this genealogy of Mary.
• 29:44
  We're going to get into the genealogy the the mother of our
• 29:49
  Lord. We know that back there and
• 29:52
  Matthew, he gave us a genealogy as well, and he traced the
• 29:58
  royalty of Christ. And here we're going to see that
• 30:02
  this is tracing him and and putting him in with the complete
• 30:10
  line of humanity all the way back to Adam.
• 30:15
  We know that Matthews goes all the way back to Abraham, but
• 30:24
  Luke is endeavoring to give us a full, complete genealogy and
• 30:30
  he's tracing it through humanity as a whole, which shows us that
• 30:34
  God is not only for the Jews, but he's for the whole world,
• 30:38
  friends. And here it says which was the
• 30:43
  son of Eli. So we know that over in Matthew
• 30:48
  he talks about the son of Jacob, and here it is supposed that
• 30:53
  this heli was his father-in-law. 24 which was the son of.
• 31:00

  Of Neeson which? Was the son.
• 32:17
  Of abenadab. Which was the son of Aram?

• 33:00
  Which was the son of Elias? Which was the son of Seth?
• 33:04
  Which was the son of? Adam.
• 33:09
  Which was the Son of God? So we blew through so many
• 33:13
  different verses here and passages here, and there's such
• 33:17
  a rich history here. And isn't it amazing that you
• 33:22
  and I can trace our lineage all the way back to Adam and Eve and
• 33:27
  we are all one friends. And that is the purpose here
• 33:31
  that Luke wanted to show that we are all connected.
• 33:39
  We all came from Adam and Eve. The entire world was repopulated
• 33:45
  by Noah, his three sons and their wives.
• 33:50
  Think about it, friends. We're made in the image of God
• 33:54
  and God breathed into us and we are his masterpiece.
• 33:58
  And we would do well to love our neighbors as ourselves.
• 34:02
  Made in the image of God. And look at how Luke endeavored
• 34:07
  to show us this genealogy traced from God to Adam all the way to
• 34:16
  Jesus Christ. And look at how we friends
• 34:22
  should trust and rely on this genealogy, this good book.
• 34:31
  It has been speculated that there's some kind of
• 34:33
  contradiction between this genealogy and Matthews.
• 34:37
  There is none. If someone says so, they are
• 34:41
  already hostile towards God. They did not want to believe in
• 34:44
  the truth. And so we need to know that one
• 34:50
  has its purposes and this one has its purposes, and they both
• 34:54
  work together. And it is a beautiful harmonious
• 34:59
  genealogy. And how Matthew included women
• 35:03
  in his and here, this is a traditional genealogy of just
• 35:08
  the males. And how amazing is our God to
• 35:11
  give us such complexity that we can look and search.
• 35:16
  We can see that it all adds up in his beautiful tapestry.
• 35:20
  Friends, I hope you've been blessed by this chapter here and
• 35:24
  Luke, I know I sure have. I'm praying for every single one
• 35:33
  of you. I love you, so does God.
• 35:40
  We'll see you back here tomorrow.
• 35:42
  God bless you.
