The God of the Living

On Day 20 of Journey to the Manger, we reflect on Luke 20, where Jesus teaches about the resurrection and declares that God is the God of the living, not the dead. His words remind us of the eternal hope we have in Him. Join us as we celebrate the promise of new life and the power of the resurrection this Christmas season.

Notes:
Day 20: Luke 20

Questions:

1. How does Jesus’ response to the religious leaders about His authority challenge us to recognize His Lordship?

2. What does the Parable of the Tenants reveal about God’s patience and justice?

3. How does Jesus’ teaching about rendering to Caesar and to God apply to us today?

4. What does Jesus’ teaching about the resurrection in response to the Sadducees teach about eternal life?

5. How does Jesus summarize the greatest commandment, and how can we live it out?

Takeaways:

- Jesus’ authority is from God and must be acknowledged in every area of life.

- God is patient, but rejection of His grace has consequences.

- We are called to honor earthly authorities while prioritizing our ultimate allegiance to God.

- The resurrection is central to our hope and understanding of eternal life.

- Loving God wholeheartedly and loving others fulfills God’s greatest commandments.

Prayer:

Jesus, thank You for revealing Your authority and truth. Help us to honor You in all we do, to live with hope in the resurrection, and to love You and others wholeheartedly. Amen.
