Summary
If you would please open your Bibles to the Gospel of Luke, the second chapter, we will be reading out of Luke the second chapter. Now that I'm 46, I'm greedy, and I'm prideful, and I'm selfish, and sometimes I say not he words and I don't respect my mom and my dad, we don't grow in the same way that Jesus grew, because Jesus didn't grow from sinfulness to obedience as we do. We find her reflecting after Christ's birth in this same chapter when the shepherds have come and they've told Mary and Joseph all that they've seen and they've heard from the angels and it says that Mary, Mary hundered this and treasured all these things in her heart here, again she's treasureing this in her heart. He is the Son of God and I love that Luke's gospel gives us this insight because it helps to support that Jesus was exactly who he says he was and he is exactly who he says he is. Jesus knew his father's business as he was nailed to the cross, but Jesus knew that his father's business would lead to ultimate victory over sin death and the devil for you. My favorite family story is that I get to tell and I get to hear how God worked in the lives of the generations before and how he will work in the lives of the generations to come because he loves each and every one of us and by his sacrifice and through the waters of baptism he has called each of us to be a part of his family and to be a part of the family that lives in the freedom through his father's business.
