I. RADICAL LIFE

Luke 4: Jesus knew (why He came).

            1. He was to preach the Good News to the (poor)
            2. He was to proclaim freedom to (captives).
            3. He was to provide recovery of sight to the (blind).
            4. He was to set the oppressed (free).

Luke 9: Jesus knew (who He was). Question to ask: Why did the disciples not know who Jesus
was?

II. HIS RADICAL TEACHINGS

Three ways Jesus’ teachings were radical:

            1. Seeing (others clearly). (6:27-45; 18:15-17)
            2. Seeing (life purposefully). (12:22-33; 16:10-13)
            3. Seeing (yourself honestly). (15; 18:9-14,18-29)
