Luke 6:17-26
Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer. And you begin to relax and think about the joys of summer, I want you to consider with me The Upside Down Kingdom. This is the sixteenth message in our study of the Gospel of Luke. I've planned thirty-seven messages from the Gospel of Luke this year as we should have completed the eight chapter of Luke.
It will take us at least three years in our study of Luke and I hope you'll join me for all three years of it. Today, we examine Jesus' most famous sermon in the middle of Luke 6. These words have displayed a remarkable influence that has spanned generations and numerous cultures. In Luke chapter six, we have a somewhat shorter version of the Sermon on the Mount. And if you were to take time to compare the words here in Luke 6 to Jesus' words in Matthew 5-8, you'll notice they are a little different. Indeed, it's obvious that Jesus preached this sermon twice and He altered the content a little.
Luke has his version of it, entitled the Sermon on the Plain, while Matthew has the more widely-known, Sermon on the Mount. Matthew's version takes a little more than five minutes to read while Luke's version can be read in under three minutes. Because the crowds traveled a great distance to Jesus, it's likely He said more. Luke is likely giving us a summary of all Jesus said. This morning, our focus is specifically on Luke 6:17-26 but I wanted to read the sermon in its entirety with you.
''And he came down with them and stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, 18 who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. 19 And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all.
20 And he lifted up his eyes ...
