Luke 12

I think I actually understand this chapter.

Pretty much the whole thing is teachings by Jesus,
and on my first pass through it all seems pretty clear.
Usually I am left wondering
or digging deeper
or at least thought-provoked.
but not this time.
I read the text and okay, I get it.

1. There are no secrets in the long run. All will be revealed.
2. Don't be afraid (except of being cast into hell)
3. Don't be afraid to proclaim Jesus before men.
(I guess that still fits in the "don't be afraid section, huh?)
4. Don't covet and store up treasures on earth.
5. Don't worry about being provided for.
6. Be ready for His return at any time.
7. He doesn't bring peace, but division

that's it.

Am I being too simple minded?
Do I really have to look for more?
I believe Jesus can be understood by the most innocent
and simple-minded.
So tonight I am one of those.

kinda feels good.

Luk 12:29
Don't seek what you will eat or what you will drink;
neither be anxious.
Luk 12:30
For the nations of the world seek after all of these things,
but your Father knows that you need these things.
Luk 12:31
But seek God's Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.
Luk 12:32
Don't be afraid, little flock,
for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
