Reading for October 4th

 Read Luke 4.31-44. In 4.31-44: Proclaiming the kingdom in galilee and Judea. In verses 31-37: In Israel's purity code, an unclean demon is the exact opposite of the Holy One of God. This encounter in the synagogue during teaching on the sabbath is provoked by an evil, unclean power that knows Jesus of Nazareth by name and status. Saving the man from harm still left Jesus open to accusation of violating the sabbath (see 6.9). In verse 38; This is the first mention of Simon, anticipating his call in 5.1-11. In verses 41-42: Son of God and Messiah (Gk., Christ, anointed one) are virtually the same titles in Luke. In verse 43: Jesus' determined purpose or mission is central in Luke's narrative (9.51, 52; 13.32-33). Comments or Questions..
