Luke Chapter 7 - ACC NT Study

(Verses 21-23)
21 At that very time Jesus cured many who had diseases, sicknesses and evil spirits, and gave sight to many who were blind.
22 So he replied to the messengers, "Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.
23 Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me."

In a few words:
Others benefit when we do not fall away.

Luke Chapter 2 - ACC NT Study

(Verses 28-30)
28 Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying:
29 "Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you now dismiss your servant in peace.
30 For my eyes have seen your salvation,

Simeon saw God's salvation, held Him in his arms, and his soul was at peace. While we cannot fully understand Simeon's experience, we can relate to it when we witness someone who accepts Jesus as Lord, followed by baptism. Seeing a new believer's baptism has a huge impact on us. The one being baptized, and those who are witnesses, share a moment when their souls are at peace simultaneously. And we witness salvation.

In a few words:
God's salvation is continually renewed for those who believe on Him.

Luke Chapter 1 - ACC NT Study

Mary's Song
(Verses 46-55)
46 And Mary said:"My soul glorifies the Lord
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed,
49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me—holy is his name.
50 His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation.
51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty.
54 He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful
55 to Abraham and his descendants forever, even as he said to our fathers."

In a few words:
Sing our own song to the Lord.
