Heavenly Father:
Every moment recorded in Scripture about Jesus has something impactful to teach me. I pray You focus my thoughts on the text, and give me new eyes to see this material. Write on my heart the lesson You want me to take away and implement in my life.
In Jesus’ matchless name I pray, Amen.
Memory Verse
“I tell you, of all who have ever lived, none is greater than John. Yet even the least person in the Kingdom of God is greater than he is!”
Luke 7:28, NLT
Background
Jesus is attracting large crowds. He is preaching the kingdom, and His disciples are living and seeing everything Jesus does, firsthand and close up. Healings are performed, some at the request of those who are hurting and others at Jesus’ own volition and mercy.
In chapters 7–8 we will continue to see the miraculous and learn why Jesus uses parables to teach. The crowds are not the point—the individual response is what matters.
