The Fox and the Hen Luke 13:31-35

This Sunday’s message was entitled “The Fox and the Hen.” It comes from our passage in Luke 13:31-35 when Jesus angrily calls Herod “that fox” and Jesus sorrowfully compares himself to a hen seeking to gather her chicks under her wings. When Jesus uses these words, He is on fire for the lost! He is expressing in the strongest way how passionate He is about rescuing us, as His people, from our sins.

Often, Jesus is depicted as this passive, peaceful Savior who seems to serenely make his way through life to Calvary. Thank God, Jesus is nothing like that! As he makes his way to Jerusalem on our behalf, he has fire in his soul to deliver you and me and nothing will stop in His way.

The question that we are going to ask this Sunday is how do we kindle a passion for the lost like Jesus? Do we have the fire of the gospel in our hearts like Jesus does? I invite you to start praying now that the Lord might be pleased to fuel your zeal and my zeal to see lost sinners rescued and brought into the kingdom of heaven. If your heart has grown cold in a lost and broken world, may the Holy Spirit place within you a passion to passionately pursue the salvation of others. I am looking forward to being captivated again by Jesus and being compelled to love and pursue others, the way Jesus has loved and pursued me. We will be taking communion so prepare your hearts to remember and to rejoice in the Savior’s redemptive love.
