The son of Joseph...so they thought

Luke 3:23-38 There are a couple of significant things here. One is that Jesus began His ministry at the age of 30. This means he lived as a normal human for up to 30 years with the exception of a couple of significant events in His life. The other significant thing is Joseph's geneology. It goes right back to Adam...so Joseph also came from God. The truth is we all came from somewhere and that somewhere is a creation of God. Knowing this we should prepare to minister to others...recognizing this preparation period may take 30 years of doing very normal things. Don't give up. God is not through with anyone who wants to serve Him in His Kingdom.

If you're up you will come down

  Luke 6:25   I find these teachings of Jesus interesting.  He seems to be saying if you're up you will come down but if you're down you will go up.  Is He saying life is full of it's ups and downs so recognize that when you're up be careful because you will come down?  Lord Jesus, help us to appreciate our ups knowing that with every up there is a down. Thanks.
