Jesus came to save and ultimately to rule the world.
He is the King of kings, yet he was born in poverty and obscurity.
He was empowered to overcome physical limits in service to God, yet he
humbled himself by refusing supernatural powers when it came to his own comfort
or prestige. When he chose his friends and followers, he largely ignored
the wealthy and powerful. Instead he selected those who were on the margins
of society but willing to be faithful. This week's lesson focuses on that
group of disciples. We will explore Luke 5:1-11 and 27-32, Luke 6:12-16,
Luke 7:1-10 and 18-23, Luke 8:1-3 and 19-21, and Luke 9:1-6. The
questions to explore are: why did Christ select these "ordinary"
people, and how can we be like them in our own lives?
