Jesus spends some time with his apostles before he goes up to heaven, and since it’s the right hand of God, the father Almighty maker of Heaven an Earth. Where is Heaven? This happens some far far place beyond Mars and Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus? Or is he a realm that we can’t see like we read about from the story in second Kings when Elisha prays for his servant, Lord open his eyes.

Then the Lord opens his eyes, and the servant sees chariots of fire, all around them, not in some distant planet beyond Mars, but right there in the midst of them, but they couldn’t see it. Maybe heaven isn’t so far away. It’s just beyond our vision.

The trial and crucifixion of Jesus and the burial of Jesus. Here we have very cute events. Jesus, talking with a thief on the Cross. Jesus saying father can give them for. They don’t know what they’re doing from a different song than he does. In other books is says my God my God, you for seen me from Sammy. It is 30. Something maybe something for four or maybe some 37 and one of those homes in your hands. Icommit my spirit to into your hands. I trust my life.

Here we have one of the longest and most important chapters. In the book of Luke as it describes glass, supper, the betrayal, the denial, all that fun stuff.

Here’s a fun chapter that a lot of people take as some type of prediction. That’s gonna happen in the United States, or in some end of the world moment, forgetting that for a Jewish person to lose the very Temple of God is an end of the world moment that the destruction of gods very Temple is an end of the world moment. What a horror as a Jewish person to find that God seems to have a left, and yet he didn’t leave it. All. He came down, and was rejected.

A very interesting parable about a Vineyard. It is very good to read this and Light of Isaiah. Chapter 5 with which also talks about a vineyard. Not to mention just the General idea sprouting from Isaiah. I have another places about the analogy of gods people as a planting or a vineyard. When the people said May, this never happen. After Jesus told them the parable. They knew exactly what he was saying. He was saying that God was going to take their land their vineyard, and give it to other people, which is exactly what happened in AD 70 when Jerusalem was destroyed.

Tax collector, not only a tax collector, but a ruler among tax collectors. What a dirty rotten filthy, stinking traitor period. YND world. Would Jesus hang out with this guy and want to talk to him and go to his house. Oh my gosh, what has he done to our people? Why would you say that salvation is come to this household. He two is a son of Abraham. What are you talking about Jesus this is rough if we allow it to really penetrate our hearts, Jesus extends to the worst of us, salvation, and Grace, and love to the very very worst of us.

All who left themselves up will be brought low, and those who make themselves low will be lifted up

The coming of the kingdom of God is not how one would expect it either. In the time of Jesus or in the time of today. How does the kingdom of God come? Are we looking for the whole world to implode? Are we looking for a world war? Are we looking for a great Empire? Are we looking for gold at the end of a rainbow?

The kingdom of God comes in a criminal enthroned on a Cross.

The kingdom of God is a reversal of the kingdoms of this world, which is why none of us really understands that well

The kingdom comes in the suffering and dying of Jesus Christ. He takes the drug destruction of Jerusalem, upon himself first
