Father, into Your Hands I Commit My Spirit

The Lord's Day Morning November 20, 2011 “Father, Into Your Hands I Commit My Spirit” Luke 23:44-49 The Reverend Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Luke chapter 23 as we continue to make our way through the gospel of Luke. The last two times before this time we've been together we've been in a passage in which Jesus is on the cross. Luke gives us the first word of the cross in this passage and he gives us the last word of Jesus from the cross in the passage that we're studying. The very first word has to do with forgiveness, and therein Luke reminds us that Jesus is on the cross in order that our sins might be forgiven. That's illustrated, and we saw it last time we were together, in the story of the penitent thief…

Father, Forgive Them

The Lord's Day Morning October 30, 2011 “Father, Forgive Them” Luke 23:32-38 The Reverend Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Luke chapter 23 as we continue to work our way through Luke's gospel. We’ll be beginning in verse 32. As we do, this brief section describes the beginning of the crucifixion itself, and it's very interesting that as to the details of what Jesus underwent physically on the cross, Luke tells us this in three words in the original and in the translation — “They crucified Him.” Now we know something of the physical torment that people went through who were crucified. We've unearthed skeletal remains of people who had been crucified and we can deduce some of the horrific physical experiences…

Jesus’ Compassion and Our Indifference

The Lord's Day Morning November 14, 2010 Luke 13:31-35 “Jesus’ Compassion and Our Indifference” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Luke chapter 13 as we continue our way through this gospel. I want you to be on the lookout for three things as we read this passage from verses 31 to 35. First, I want you to look at Jesus’ example. We heard a passage read earlier today where the apostle Paul, in Philippians 2, commends to us Jesus’ example. We need more than Jesus’ example. If Jesus’ example is all we have, we're all in trouble, because the best of us don't follow His example. But when we have received the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ it is a wonderful thing to have His example because He shows us the way to go in…

God Has Visited His People

The Lord's Day Morning October 18, 2009 Luke 7:1-17 “God Has Visited His People” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Luke chapter 7 as we continue our way through the great gospel of Luke. In this passage, Luke is telling us two stories that are designed to help us and his original readers appreciate more fully who Jesus is. Throughout Luke's gospel and the other gospels, the gospel writers are driving home the point that Jesus is…

The Offerings of the Seventh Month

Wednesday Evening February 13, 2008 Numbers 29:1-40 Numbers — With God in the Wilderness: “The Offerings of the Seventh Month” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Numbers 29. We’re making our way closer and closer to the end of this great book, part of the Law of Moses, the first five books of the Bible. The Pentateuch is the technical name for those books; or, as the Hebrews called them, the Torah, the law of God, the instruction of…

Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Philippians 2, as we continue to work our way through this great letter of the Apostle Paul. We have come to a new part of the middle section of this book…

Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Philippians 2. It has been our joy over the last number of weeks working through this letter to pay very close attention to what some theologians and New Testament scholars call “the song of…
