"I mean, it's like volume two. It's like, you know, it's like Return of the Jedi. It's the second part of Luke. So it should be Luke, the sequel. Really, it should be because he picks up from where he was continuing. So if you read Luke is also, but which is a continuation, Acts is a continuation of Luke. And so he writes both of these, which actually makes him the, even more than Paul. I know Paul writes 13 of the letters, but his are smaller. And Luke is actually the majority winner. It's crazy to even think that, right? But he is." [00:33:28] (39 seconds)
"He's saying, but what I did is that there were a man crucified and he lived again. And I want to tell you about it. That's what Luke was doing. So when you hear it, it just really comes alive. And so when he, when he finishes it, when he finishes the gospel of Luke, he finishes it right there, boom, at the, after Jesus has, has been resurrected, right? And he's ascended. This is where he ends Luke. But then he picks up Acts by saying, this is part two. He does. I mean, this is how Acts starts. It says in the first book, Luke, O Theopolis, he's writing the same guy again, right?" [00:59:35] (39 seconds)
"Acts is an orderly account, because that's the way Luke writes, orderly account. Orderly account of the works of the Holy Spirit through the apostles to birth the church. And that is what you see. It is so cool to watch how the Holy Spirit took the, these guys who really, I mean, when Jesus was there, they were like, yeah, okay. But when the Holy Spirit filled them, man, they became bold and wild and just miracles and all the great things." [01:07:39] (29 seconds)
"That's what, that's what was the feeling. That was the, the thing going on. It isn't even because fair. I mean, here's the thing is fair is that neither one of them could have deserved anything, but what we wanted was even. That is what Luke was dealing with. You see, Luke was writing about Jesus coming for all people, but the Jews said, no, it's for us. We've kept all the laws. We kept the 613 laws. We did all the ceremonies. We memorized the Old Testament. We did all these things. And you're going to tell me that these Gentiles who didn't do any of that, they get salvation like we do. Jesus says, yep." [01:18:54] (47 seconds)
"That is what Luke is actually dealing with throughout his gospel. It's an investigative orderly account, but also he's telling that Jesus came for everyone. And the Jews did not like that. They were like, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, no, you're, you're, you're telling me these people didn't do nothing. They get the same salvation as we do. Yes. But here's the thing is fair would have been nobody gets salvation. They didn't want fair." [01:23:45] (31 seconds)
"They wanted to be even because here's the thing is Jesus saying, yes, the Jews still get salvation. The still salvation is offered to you, but it's also offered to these as well. And the Jews wanted to even, they're like, no, no. And so that's the reason Luke throughout the entire portion of his God, he's always telling you how he's come. Christ has come." [01:24:26] (22 seconds)
"For those who are without, right? And he's telling you these things. And all the time. So when he's telling you the birth of Jesus, right? You know, what does he do? He goes, he says the angel went to who? The shepherds in the field. They're the outcast. He didn't go to the people in the temple or go to the religious. He went to the shepherds in the fields. They were the ones that the Jews said, they're marked unclean. They can't come into the temple. That's who the angel went to, to give the news. So Luke is continually showing you that Jesus is for all people. That's the reason it said, this is what it says. And the angel said to them when they're in the field, Fear not, behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. It's not just, it's going to be for all the men. Because if you read the Old Testament, it's the men, right? Like men, the Jewish culture believed men were held way above women. Women were just the low. Actually, in many of the Jewish regions, the slaves were actually seen as more important than women. But he's saying no." [01:28:27] (74 seconds)
"Great joy for all the people, men and women. All the people. Gentiles, everyone. This was, can you imagine? It's like, what? Then the shepherd's going, then that includes us. Yeah, it does. It includes for all people. So as you're reading Luke, you'll read, he's the one who documents all the places where Jesus is speaking in to the people. You see, you know, when Jesus, he tells, he's the only one who tells the story of the thief on the cross, right? You know, the thief on the cross turns to Jesus and Jesus says, today you'll be with me in paradise. That infuriated the Jews. They're like, what? This guy who has not kept anything, he's at the end. He's been a thief. He's been a sinner. He's been, and you're saying he gets salvation." [01:31:06] (50 seconds)
"oh the jesus like what what and this is the point that luke is trying for us to understand that jesus came for everyone and so when we understand that we see jesus died to offer salvation for the gentiles and so like whoa that's kind of hard but you know he he comes up and he says this he says going next verse he says that you have prepared in the presence of all the people a light of revelation to the gentiles that that's for us right and right i like that he put them second and for the glory of your people israel so jews get it too but you know he put them second so i that's how powerful that is to look in that it's like whoa this is so powerful but here's the thing is all i love this is so cool luke takes it a step further he doesn't just you know end with that that part you know jesus yes did come to offer salvation for the gentiles and for the poor whoa whoa whoa you see the jewish culture is that if you're poor that's god getting" [01:36:06] (75 seconds)
