Reading Luke 4-6 today, it talks about Jesus growing up, bring tested, preaching, teaching, healing, and calling his disciples. Here are some verses that stuck out to me.
Luke 4: 18-19 says,
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
This is Jesus saying that he is the one that was prophesied to come in Isaiah 61:1-2
Luke 6:20-26 are the Beatitudes
Jesus also tells the people to love their enemies, Luke 6:27-31, 35-36
But I really like this part of Chapter 6, the analogy of a tree and its fruit, with people and their hearts.
Luke 6:43-45 says, “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes or grapes from briers. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of."
Update on my teeth: I am still swollen. I took all my anti-swelling meds now, so hopefully they'll work. I am going to spend today in bed too. I have a pile of books and movies next to my bed so I can just reach over and grab something whenever I'm not sleeping and when I'm bored. I can also plan out what to do during my break after I get better and can eat. I want to see some people and catch up before I go back to Waterloo, so that I can keep as many friendships strong as I can.
Have you guys heard of Jessie Chambers? This song just kept playing on my Grooveshark music station and I liked it. But I listened to his other songs and I didn't like them as much... But this song seems to be alright, if I understand what he's trying to say - to be wary of people called "dreamkillas" who are out there to stop you from achieving your dreams, and that you have to be strong and beast-mode your way through to the end.
Here is the chorus: DreamKillas - Jessie Chambers
You gotta keep on dreaming
Please believe it
Despite pressure
Stay believing
Never lose your focus
Cause they will notice
yeah we call um
The Dream Killas, they want to cut you down.
