Kingdom Discipleship 101: Knowing God

In our passage from Luke 12:1-21 Jesus teaches his disciples about the character and nature of God. In contrast to what the Teachers of Israel taught the people in their misunderstanding, Jesus teaches his disciples more “Kingdom Discipleship 101” as he with understanding reveals to them about knowing God and understanding how to live in light of God's clear revelation in creation and redemption. Knowing God is understanding Him as the Knower and Revealer of men's hearts (12:1-3), the Judge of All Things (12:4-5), the Sovereign and Caring One (12:6-7), the Holy Trinity (12:8-12), and the One to whom all men must give an account (12:13-21).
