Our reading challenge for the day is Luke 11-15. I'll hit a few highlights. You make comments too and fill in the gaps. What strikes you as specially significant?
There is one message that arises again and again in Luke 11-15. As Jesus makes many parabolic statements and does many parabolic actions, see that they all point toward depending on him, trusting that our Lord and Savior cares for us and will rescue us no matter our situation. This is not a normal response for fallen humanity, as we would rather trust ourselves and our own abilities and plans. Yet wherever we look to the Lord in faith we see he is the one who delivers his people.
Here's a challenge. Take three passages from today's reading and try to read them through the lens I described above. See if that agrees with the way you have heard those passages taught before. See if it seems to fit with the rest of Scripture.
