Last Week we looked at…
• How the Gospel of Luke & the Book of Acts are linked – a two part series (Luke 1 & 2)
• Why did Luke write the books: ?
to enable Theophilus to know with certainty the things he had been taught.

Last Week we looked at…
• How the coming of salvation, the Kingdom of God, the new covenant and the new law perfectly mirror the first Passover and Pentecost.
• How Jesus has ascended to the throne and now the message must go out for all to come and bow before him.
so the Jews could recognize Jesus was the servant to come.

Does this mean that Jesus’ name is Magic and we just need to know the
right way to say the magic words to control and apply that power?
No! Jesus is the source of all power
Jesus is the one who acts in power

And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

1) To whom do you pledge allegiance?
2) How can knowing the power of Jesus’ name affect your prayers?
3) We know the church is the body of Christ and the bride of Christ: knowing this, how should it affect how we each live?

Rom 8:9-11 See also Acts 16:6-7
However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you.
But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.
If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

Jesus and the Father
Jn 10:30 The Father and I, we are one.
Jn 10:36-38 do you say, ‘You are blaspheming’ to the One the Father set apart and sent into the world, because I said: I am the Son of God? If I am not doing My Father’s works, don’t believe Me. But if I am doing them and you don’t believe Me, believe the works. This way you will know and understand that the Father is in Me and I in the Father.”

Jesus and the Father
Jn 14:9-11 The one who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words I speak to you I do not speak on My own. The Father who lives in Me does His works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me. Otherwise, believe because of the works themselves.

Jesus and the Father
Jn 17:20-21 It is not only for these that I am interceding, but for those who will come to believe in me through their word, that they may be one, just as you, Father, are in Me and I am in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe You have sent Me.
