Power Over Darkness

<p>Power outages are quick reminders of how much we depend on electricity. If it happens at night, we are a bit overwhelmed by the darkness. Our food might go bad. If it’s in the summer, the house will probably get unbearably warm. We take power for granted until we don’t have it. As we continue studying Luke’s eyewitness account of Jesus’ life and ministry, we are pointed to the power in Jesus. Often, believers take this power for granted too. In a dark world, we may not realize how much we need the light and power of Jesus until it seems like it has been turned off. Maybe God does that sometimes to remind us of how much power He has and how much we need it! And maybe, real power comes from circumstances that feel humble and weak. Let’s see how Luke connects a demonstration of power to Jesus’ word about what He will do to unleash the greatest power ever known.</p><p><br></p>
