Message: The gospel according to Luke
Text: Luke 9:37-45
~Jesus with His disciples: what is the opposite of love? _______
~The disciples and the crowd would have been happy for Jesus to stay around and keep doing what He’s doing…until they die, then they will be glad He kept His appointment with the cross. People are always looking at the temporal, Jesus is always looking at the eternal.
Pilgrim's Progress, "I remember now what my mother has told me, namely that the way to heaven is like a ladder and the way to hell is like down a hill. But I'd rather go up the ladder to life than down the hill to death…I must continue, for to go back means nothing but death. To go forward is the fear of death, but beyond it is life everlasting. I'll keep going forward."
