The Face of God | Luke 8:26–39
What do we see when we look into the face of Jesus?
In a world that reads faces to judge character, status, and identity, Christ reveals something far deeper: the very heart of God. In this week’s Gospel, we encounter Jesus as He heals a man possessed by demons—showing His divine authority, compassion, and the unshakable peace He alone can give. Through this act and through His journey to the cross, Jesus shows us not only His power, but His purpose: to set His face toward Jerusalem for our salvation.
🕊 “For God… has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” (2 Corinthians 4:6)
Key Takeaways:
Jesus reveals the heart of God through His face and His actions. He willingly “sets His face” toward suffering to save us. His healing brings peace that reaches deeper than any affliction.
