Sermon: Luke 9:1-9WHAT WILL THEY MAKE OF JESUS?
Acts 1:8 – “You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth…"
This process STARTS with Israel in Luke 9, Luke 10.
The Great Commission – in all four gospels!
Herod Antipas - who executed John the
Baptist

WHAT WILL THEY MAKE OF JESUS?
1 – WILL ISRAEL BELIEVE? Luke 9 - A passage about
responding to Jesus. The response of Israel, and
that of a minor King – Herod Antipas.
His story began with John the baptist and is continued in Luke 23:8-12…

Baptist

WHAT WILL THEY MAKE OF JESUS?
1 – WILL ISRAEL BELIEVE? Luke 23:8-12. When Herod saw
Jesus, he was greatly pleased, because for a long time he had been wanting to see him. From what he had heard about him, he hoped to see him perform some miracle. He plied him with many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer… Then Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked him. Dressing him in an elegant robe, they sent him back to Pilate. That day Herod and Pilate became friends - before this they had been enemies.

WHAT WILL THEY MAKE OF JESUS?
1 – WILL ISRAEL BELIEVE? The issue here, and
throughout Luke: WHAT IS THE TRUE IDENTITY OF JESUS?
Luke 7:49; 8:25; & 9:18. The answer in 2:11 – He is
“Christ The Lord.”

Baptist

WHAT WILL THEY MAKE OF JESUS?
2 – WILL MIRACLES CONVINCE? Travel light (3-6). Don’t treat miracles as if
they are the norm, or as if they are entertainment, to arouse your curiosity. That was Herod’s mistake
Did Jesus heal people? Does he heal
today?
![Page 30: Sunday 4 th November 2007 Morning Service](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/568167c8550346895ddd1443/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
WHAT WILL THEY MAKE OF JESUS?
2 – WILL MIRACLES CONVINCE? So if you are the Christ Yes
the great Jesus Christ Prove to me that you're no fool Walk across my swimming pool If you do that for me Then I'll let you go free C'mon King of the Jews Andrew Lloyd Webber: ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’

WHAT WILL THEY MAKE OF JESUS?
3 – ARE YOU CONVINCED? Miracles were not everyday
events or entertainment: They were SIGNS.
Pointing ahead… Meanwhile we live in
tension between the arrival of the Kingdom, and its future completion. Do the
SIGNS convince
you.
![Page 32: Sunday 4 th November 2007 Morning Service](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/568167c8550346895ddd1443/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
WHAT WILL THEY MAKE OF JESUS?
3 – ARE YOU CONVINCED? Don’t push God out of His
timetable, but be confident. Confident, but humble… Secure, but frail… Don’t stop at curiosity –
entrust yourself to Jesus.
Do the SIGNS
convince you.
