Introduction to the Gospel of Luke
Here you will find blog posts, reflections, and commentaries that walk through the Gospel of Luke—offering teaching that is a little more than a devotion, but not quite a sermon. Rather than moving chapter by chapter, this journey unfolds revelation by revelation, following the moments that arrest the heart and awaken the mind.
This space is an invitation to slow down, to notice, and to listen. My hope is that as you read along, the Spirit will use Luke’s careful account to shape not only what we understand about Jesus, but how we follow Him.
Everything That Was Written — Luke 24
Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 24:44 We come to the very end of Luke’s…
The Road Jesus Chose — Luke 24
In Luke 24, two disciples walked away from Jerusalem discussing the death of Jesus when the risen Christ joined them. These were men who had lived with Him, eaten with Him, and followed Him for three years—yet they did not recognize Him. Their eyes were kept from seeing…
Why the Women? – Luke 24:9-11
“When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. But they did not believe the women,…
On the Sabbath – Luke 23:56 – Part I
“And they returned and prepared spices and perfumes, and on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.” What is my relationship with the Sabbath day—or for the average Christian today? I grew up going to church and never really thought twice about the Sabbath. If it crossed…
Save Yourself -Luke 23:37
Our human inclination is to survive, and we build mindsets for this survival, we have expectations not only about how to survive, but have expectations for everything. We expect the strong to survive and the weak to fade, the old to wrinkle while the young rise. Birds take…
Hate Him First – Luke 23
Growing up I had a German shepherd named Casey. My dad bought her to protect us after he and my mom divorced; I was about five, I needed Casey. I would crawl inside her cage and lie down beside her, stroking her coarse black back and rubbing her…
Madman or Mystery- Luke 21
Many people have turned away from the Bible—and from Jesus—because they read it and conclude there are too many contradictions. Too many moments where Jesus appears to say opposing things or gives commands that sit on two ends of the spectrum. Where is the consistency in his messages?…
Whose wife will she be… Luke 20
Some Sadducees—who denied the resurrection—approached Jesus and said, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us, if a man dies leaving a childless wife, his brother must take her and raise up offspring for his brother. Now there were seven brothers. Each married the woman and died, leaving her childless. Finally,…
By What Authority? Luke 20
The Pharisees questioned Jesus, asking, “Tell us, by what authority do You do these things? And who gave You this authority?” (Luke 20:2). But Jesus turned the question back to them, and their response revealed both their position and the source of their authority. False authority is performative…
