We explore Luke’s Gospel as a careful, compassionate portrait of Jesus—fully God, fully human—who brings salvation “today” and welcomes outsiders to the table. From certainty and song to meals, prayer, and the Spirit’s power, we trace why Luke still speaks to weary hearts.
• Luke’s purpose of clarity and certainty
• Salvation as forgiveness, welcome, and healing now
• The theme of “today” in Luke’s narrative
• Outsiders welcomed: Zacchaeus, Samaritans, sinners
• Songs, joy, and worship that shape the story
• Meals as moments of mercy and change
• Prayer and the Holy Spirit guiding Jesus’ mission
• Women’s faith and witness honored
• The humanity of Jesus and hope for the weary
• Simple reading plans and reflective questions
Pick one of those reading options and begin. Maybe start with Luke chapters 1 and 2 this week. Let the songs of Mary, Zechariah, and the angels lead you into the story. And maybe text a friend to join you.
