Luke 4:31-6:16

MP: Jesus came to fulfill the promises of Isaiah

Three things to follow throughout this section.

Jesus has Authority concerning spiritual and humanity 4:31-5:32

4:32, 36,

They knew who Jesus was.

4:34, 41,

Third the authority of Jesus.

verse 36, “For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.

Jesus spoke to his disciples and they dropped everything to follow Jesus

Jesus has authority to heal, cast out demons and cause people to change.

In verse 4:43 Jesus says, I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well: for I was sent for this purpose.

Second, 5:32 “I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”

Lastly, 5:32-6:16

Jesus has authority over the sabbath

Jesus finally
