Summary

"The way to life is death. The way to glory is service. Or, as he puts it in Luke 9.48, 'It is the one who is least among you who is greatest.' Jesus lived that statement out to the fullest." Do you ever wonder why Jesus had to die? It's a good question. It's one his disciples asked too. They didn't expect it to happen when he told them about it beforehand, and they didn't know how to react to it afterward.

0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.
0:11.5	I'm Patrick Miller. And I'm Keith Simon. Right now we're
0:14.7	learning what it looks like to follow Jesus by working our way through the
0:18.4	Gospel of Luke. Luke Chapter 9 marks a key juncture in Luke's Gospel.
0:24.4	So I kind of think this might be a great time to slow down,
0:27.5	look back at what we've learned so far,
0:29.5	and take a peek forward at where we're headed.
0:32.1	So if you remember at the beginning we
0:33.8	learned about Jesus's miraculous conception and in the midst of that we saw God's
0:38.6	plan to rescue Israel through him and through that rescue to somehow even make him into a light for the nations.
0:46.5	Over the last five chapters we've then watched as Jesus travels through Galilee.
0:51.6	He calls apprentices to follow him. He announces the good news that in him God is returning to establish his kingdom, to begin ruling over his whole creation. Jesus heals people as a sign of that kingdom's return and now he's

1:25.2	they're planning how can we get rid of this guy.
1:28.1	Finally in chapter 9 we reach a decisive turning point.
1:32.1	Jesus asks his disciples a question, who am I? And Peter
1:36.7	correctly identifies him as the Messiah. Now Messiah was a Hebrew word which
1:41.8	simply meant anointed one and was often used to describe the king or a priest
1:47.6	Now when Peter says this I think he clearly has the kingly dimensions in view
