Last time, we left off with Jesus casually aura-blasting demons out of people and healing like it was just another Tuesday. Today, in Part 2, we’re back in the Book of Luke, and he’s still cooking. I read a good chunk this morning and had to pause myself because it was just banger after banger. So let’s walk through it.

Jesus and the Twelve Pull Up

Jesus and the disciples go up a mountain to pray. Then they come back down and boom, crowds. People from Judea, Jerusalem, Tyre, Sidon… they all pull up just to see him, hoping to touch even the aura.

“Everyone was trying to touch him, so much energy surging from him, so many people healed.”
(Luke 6:19)

People traveling miles without internet, just off word of mouth, like, “Yo there’s a guy in Miami casting demons out.” That’s how magnetic his spirit was.

“Blessed Are You When You’re Down Bad”

Jesus starts speaking some real. And I mean real:

“Count yourself blessed every time someone cuts you down or smears your name to discredit me. It means the truth is too close for comfort.”
(Luke 6:22-23)

He says be glad when people get weird around you for loving God. That’s not a sign to shrink, it’s proof your spirit is agitating something in them. Aura clashes.

Flesh vs. Spirit

Then Jesus drops a truth bomb that had me pacing:

“It’s trouble ahead when you’re satisfied with yourself, your SELF will not satisfy you for long.”
(Luke 6:25)

You hear that? That self he’s talking about isn’t just your personality, it’s the flesh. The version of us chasing dopamine, fast food, porn, weed, clout, validation. It feeds the flesh and starves the soul. That path don’t lead anywhere good.

Popularity Ain’t Truth

He keeps going:

“Popularity contests are not truth contests… your task is to be true, not popular.”
(Luke 6:26)

Read that again. This world got us chasing likes instead of light. Jesus ain’t asking for fame, he’s asking for faith.

Love Your Enemies… Fr?

Then comes the wild part:

“If someone slaps you in the face, stand there and take it… If someone takes unfair advantage of you, use the occasion to practice the servant life.”
(Luke 6:29-30)

That’s some hard stuff. But it’s not weakness, it’s mastery. He’s not saying let people walk all over you; he’s saying, don’t let hate mutate your spirit. Your aura is too valuable.

The Woman Who Wept on His Feet

Chapter 7 opens with Jesus raising someone from the dead, yeah, literally. But it’s what happens at this Pharisee’s house that got me emotional.

A woman, straight up called a harlot, walks in and weeps on Jesus’ feet. She dries them with her hair and anoints them with perfume. The Pharisee judges her.

Jesus says:

“She was forgiven many, many sins, and so she is very, very grateful. If the forgiveness is minimal, the gratitude is minimal.”
(Luke 7:47)

Mic drop. The most “unholy” person in the room was the most loving. Because she knew what it meant to be forgiven. Meanwhile, the Pharisee had no self-awareness, just pride.

Jesus Answers Without Answering

When John the Baptist’s disciples come asking, “Are you the one we’ve been waiting for?” Jesus doesn’t say yes or no.

He heals people for three hours.

Then he says:

“Go back and tell John what you have just seen and heard: The blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised…”
(Luke 7:22)

That’s Jesus. No need to boast, just be.

Final Thoughts

This whole section of Luke is just Jesus being him. Healing, teaching, defying expectations. Not chasing approval. Not needing a platform. Just radiating light. That’s aura farming at its peak.

And to end with his message: the lowest, the sinners, the harlots, they’re not beneath love. They are the point of love.

I don’t know who needed that today, but I know I did.
