Chapter 1: What is the focus of Luke Chapter 9?
What's going on, guys? Welcome back to another episode of the Bryce Crawford Podcast. I'm Bryce, and in today's episode, we're on Luke chapter 9. Thank you guys for following along on the Luke Christmas series. Every day we're reading a chapter of Luke, so by the time you get to Christmas Eve, you would have read the whole Gospel of Luke. We're literally reading it verse by verse on the podcast.
So if you're at least listening to these... you would have read the whole book of Luke. It's powerful. Before we get into it, guys, first ever live podcast show, January 19th, 6 p.m. in Los Angeles. Go to jesusinthestreet.org slash tickets and get your tickets. Come out to the show. It's going to be a powerful night. I'm super excited. It's going to be awesome.
And I think we're going to have some merch at the event that won't be on the website. So you guys should come. It's going to be awesome. I'm excited. Now, let's jump into Luke chapter 9. And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases. And he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal.
Okay, so now Jesus is sending out the twelve disciples to go do some ministry here. And he's giving them power to heal the sick and cast out demons. He is equipping them. When God calls us, he equips us as well. Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money, and do not have two tunics. And whatever house you enter, stay there and from there depart.
And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town, shake the dust off your feet. It's a testimony against them. He's saying, look, don't try to convince people to follow this. He's like, just lay the truth on them. And if they receive it, bless them. If they don't, shake the dust off your feet, move on to the next people because there's people that need it.
Jesus says that the harvest is ripe. He says, don't take offense, keep moving. And they departed and went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere. Notice that the supernatural isn't separate from the gospel. OK, oftentimes you'll see people, they separate the two. No, they go hand in hand like the gospel should be our leading leg.
And then we can use like God will give us the ability to use the supernatural to solve people's hearts or to set people free and to show them that the gospel is true. It's powerful. King Herod.
Now Herod, the Tetrarch, heard about all that was happening, and he was perplexed because it was said by someone that John had been raised from the dead, by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the prophets of old had risen.
So this is going to, we're going to see this here in a second in Luke chapter 9, where Jesus asks the disciples who the people say he is, because some mistake him as John the Baptist still. Some think he's Elijah, because if you guys know, Elijah didn't die. He got taken up to heaven in the Old Testament. And it says in verse nine, Herod said, John, I beheaded.

Chapter 2: What message did Jesus give to the twelve disciples?
And whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For he who is least among you is the one who is great. It's actually the humble that will be exalted. And he actually calls us here to do something. He calls us to have childlike faith. Jesus doesn't call us to be childish in our faith, return evil for evil, be slow to speak. I mean, quick to speak, slow to listen.
He doesn't call us to be childish. He calls us to be childlike. What does it mean to be childlike? When you have a kid and you tell the kid that the Easter bunny is real, you don't have to convince the child that the Easter bunny is real. Man, a child when they're young, they grab hold to every word you say as if it is 100% honest truth.
Whatever you say to a kid when they're young, they just don't without a doubt, they believe you and they hold on to it and they fully embrace whatever you tell them. Jesus says, if you were to be childlike, you're going to fully embrace everything I say. You're going to receive me as if because I am 100% the truth. I am God in the flesh. You're going to receive me without a doubt.
And you're going to embrace me like a child would when you tell him the Easter bunny is real. He's going to get excited about the Easter bunny to celebrate. You're going to get excited about me just like a child would. So powerful. John answered, Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name and we tried to stop him because he doesn't follow with us.
But Jesus said to him, do not stop him for the one who is not against you is for you. He's saying, look, there's no competition for people who are all working in the kingdom of heaven. If they're casting them out in my name, let him keep casting it out because there's no exclusivity or partiality just because you're a disciple of mine is what he says.
When the day is true near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem and he sent some messengers ahead of him. who went and entered a village of the Samaritans to make preparations for him. But the people did not receive him because his face was set towards Jerusalem.
And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, Lord, do you want us to tell fire to come down from heaven and consume them? But he turned and rebuked them and they went on to another village. So just because the Samaritan village rejected Jesus, the disciples were like, yo, let's burn that place down. Let's burn it. And Jesus actually rebukes him as like, yo, have compassion on them.
They just don't understand. And I love that perspective because it's like when people reject us because of the gospel, it's like sometimes we get frustrated. It's like, oh, we should get frustrated. They just don't understand. Have grace. They just don't know they're my best friend yet. They just don't know Jesus yet. They just don't know that they're about to be best friends with Jesus.
Like, like, let's just understand. Let's close out chapter 9. As they were going along the road, someone said to them, I will follow you wherever you go. And Jesus said to him, foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head. He says, look, following me is uncomfortable. Following me is uncomfortable. There are some days that it's hard.
