Luke 22

Luke 22:32

But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

There is so much in this chapter. Christ is betrayed by one of His own disciples. He does the sacrament-  the sacrament is in remembrance of Him. Christ goes to the Mount of Olives. He does this so He can take upon Him the sins of the world. He bleeds from every pore. He asks for His disciples to not enter into temptation and to stay with Him. Even an angel comes to help HIm through the process.

With everything that is said within this chapter I really liked the above scripture because with all that was going on at this point in Christ's life- He was still praying for those around Him. He could have been selfish but again He put others first. He prays for us, that we can have and keep the faith that we need and then use that faith to help others around us.    

Luke 17

Luke 17:6

And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

Faith- Children's Songbook #96
Faith is knowing the sun will rise, lighting each new day.
Faith is knowing the Lord will hear my prayers each time I pray.
Faith is like a little seed:
If planted, it will grow.
Faith is a swelling within my heart.
When I do right I know.

Faith is knowing I lived with God before my mortal birth.
Faith is knowing I can return when my life ends on earth.
Faith is trust in God above;
In Christ, who showed the way.
Faith is strengthened; I feel it grow
Whenever I obey.

Luke 8

Luke 8:25

And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.

He can calm the storms of the weather, He can calm the storms in my life. Where is my faith to allow this to happen in my life?

Luke 7

Luke 7:50

And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

This woman, who was a sinner, had a box of very expensive ointment. She stood at His feet, anointing His feet with the ointment. Weeping, she washed His feet with her tears and kissed His feet. The Pharisees seeing this accused the Savior of not knowing that she was a sinner and said that she shouldn't touch Him. The Savior taught a lesson using a parable. He doesn't love those with more sins less than others. He loves us no matter what. No matter what I do I can always return to Him. He is always there with His arms outstretched for me.

Luke 5

Luke 5:20

And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.

That is the greatest thing that the Savior has done for me and for all of us. He has the ability to take away all of our sins. With that we can again stand in His presence and hopefully live with Him again.
