Oh, let the Son of God enfold you with His spirit and his love.

Let him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you,

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you home.

Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire Bible.

And on today's edition of the Word for today,

Pastor Chuck continues with the final months of Jesus' ministry

as we pick up in Luke, 12 verse one and now with today's

message here's Pastor Chuck so we turn in our Bibles to Luke's gospel chapter 12 we are dealing

with the final months in the ministry of Jesus.

He has returned to Jerusalem.

He will soon be leaving Jerusalem

to go down to the area of the Jordan River beyond Jericho,

where he will sort of absent himself from the authorities

until such a time as he comes back for the feast of the Passover

and makes his triumphant entry on the Sunday before the

feast of the Passover.

So just where here in Luke's account does Jesus leave Jerusalem is not declared by Luke.

John tells us about this little time that he spent down at the Jordan River.
