Discovering the Light of listening and being Salt (Luke 8-14)

In Being Salt and light, not intellectual or behavior I discovered the Gospel of Matthew has Salt and Light together; Matthew 5:13-16  but the Gospel of Luke has Light explained in a greater context, in relationship with God (Luke 8:10-18, 11:33-36) and Salt (𝐋𝐮𝐤𝐞 𝟏𝟒:𝟑𝟒-𝟑𝟓)

Luke 8:16–18 Light for all to see, learning by listening and results in abundance (Luke 8:15) or ruin (Luke 8:12-14). Notice Luke 8:10 says "secrets of the kingdom of God" and Luke 8:17 says, "Nothing secret will not be known" 

Luke talks about light quit a bit. 

  • "Because of God’s tender mercy, the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us, to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to guide us to the path of peace.” - Luke 1:78-79
  • Simeon's Holy Spirit filled praise (Luke 2:25-35): "He is a light to reveal God to the nations, and he is the glory of your people Israel!” Luke 2:32

Light of listening and bearing the cross (Luke 8:1-9:45)

Greatness is a welcomed child in Jesus name (Luke 9:46-62)

Jesus authorizes 72 workers into his Fathers fields (Luke 10:1-24)

Jesus teaches how faith listens and works with God (Luke 10:25-11:13)

Jesus Christ exposes Satan, sin, and a right relationship with God (Luke 11:23-12:21)

  •  Light isn't hidden, it can be seen by all who enter the house, the eye provides light for your body, healthy filled with light (Luke 11:33-36), in the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see (Matthew 5:16)

Jesus explains how faithful, sensible servants seek the Kingdom of Heaven (Luke 12:22-59)

Jesus teaches about repentance and turning to God (Luke 13)

Jesus requires humble, devoted follow through from Disciples (Luke 14)

  • Parable of the Lost Coin: “Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Won’t she light a lamp and sweep the entire house and search carefully until she finds it? - Luke 15:8
  • Rich, shrewd, dishonest rascal are more shrewd than children of the light - Luke 16:8
  • For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so it will be on the day when the Son of Man comes. Luke 17:24
  • The light from the sun was gone. And suddenly, the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn down the middle. Luke 23:45
