Praise and rejoicing (Luke 1:14, 46-47, 64, 68)


Praise and rejoicing (Luke 1:14, 46-47, 64, 68)


Praise  and rejoicing are prominent in luke's Gospel and in Acts. Throughout luke's Gospel, the recipients of Gods grace praise Him for His wonderful deeds (1:44, 46, 64, 68; 2:13, 38; 5:25-26; 7:16; 13:13; 17:15-18; 18:43; 19:37; 24:53). In Acts, praise accompanies healings (Acts 2:47; 3:8-9; 4:21) and the salvation of the Gentiles (Acts 11:18; 13:48; 21:20).     .
This motif of praise is closely linked to a key theme in Luke, that the fulfilment of God's promise in the coming of Jesus the Messiah is a cause for joy and rejoicing. The OT prophets had predicted that nature itself would break forth in songs of praise when God's salvation arrived (see Isa 55:12).
When Jesus entered Jerusalem at the end of his ministry, his disciples shouted and sang, "praising God for all the wonderful miracles they had seen" (19:37). The Pharisees called on Jesus to rebuke his disciples, but he responded, "If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!" (19:37-40). At the end of the Gospel, the disciples "returned to Jerusalem filled with great joy; And they spent all of their time in the Temple, praising God",(24:52-53). The arrival of God’s marvellous salvation a cause for rejoicing and praise.             

Prayer Points

› We are raising a song of praise and beliving God for Healing in the name of Jesus
