The focus of the message today is a series of teachings and encounters with many who would consider themselves as the enemy of Jesus—people who were hurling false accusations and unfounded theories on who He was. These accounts of the rejection of Jesus are interspersed with snippets from those who received Him in a positive way. Nestled in the middle of this eleventh chapter of Luke is the inspiration for the artwork for this portion of our series in the Gospel of Luke—the light that shines out from those whose spiritual walk is healthy and growing in Christ. We are to let that light shine forth for all to see Christ, the Savior of the world.
