Luke 8:16-21

JESUS’ TRUE FAMILY

Keywords 8:21

He replied, "My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice."

 

1. The light shines (16-18)

Jesus is the light in this dark world. His word planted in the heart brings light and

joy and the way to repentance and holiness. We can see the truth of the kingdom

of God. Without Jesus and his word, we get lost in human thinking and emotions.

The light exposes sins and reveals God. Jesus reveals he is the Savior and King,

and one day, the Judge and Eternal Ruler. We must listen carefully to Jesus and

let his light shine in us and nurture us as his people.

 

2. Jesus’ family (19-21)

Jesus’ family loved and missed him. They should have understood him by now.

They went to visit him during his busy life of preaching the kingdom of God, but

he would not stop. He really wanted his family to have Bible study together with

him and follow him. His true family hears his word and then practices it.

 

Prayer Lord, I want to have deep Bible study so that your word and life might

shine in me and through me. Help me put your word into practice today

and live as your true family member.

One Word Shine as a true family member of Jesus
