As we have read through the Gospels, we see each author write about the Resurrection of Jesus. These range from Mark’s rather abbreviated account to the longer account we have here, and John will have even more about the post-resurrection appearances of Jesus. The Resurrection is a critical fact for Christianity, for without it weContinue reading “Day 328: Luke 23-24”

People have always been attracted to wealth and all it can provide in life. We are impressed when we see spectacular buildings, magnificent works of art, displays of precious metals and gems, or anything else whose value catches out eye. It isn’t surprising that this is so, since human nature craves security, and we thinkContinue reading “Day 327: Luke 21-22”

Many of Jesus’ parables are found in more than one gospel. Some of them are very similar, even in their details, while others vary significantly in the way they are presented. Those that show greater variety may cause some readers to question the accuracy of the gospel writers in transmitting these teachings. If we thinkContinue reading “Day 326: Luke 19-20”

What do we as Christians gain from serving the Lord? This is a question many ask themselves, whether before coming to Christ or as they live out their Christian life.

One of the obstacles Christians encounter when dealing with those outside the church is the impression many non-believers have of church attenders. They believe that people who regularly attend church think they are better than others, that they have a list of rules and regulations everyone must follow, that they look down on others asContinue reading “Day 322: Luke 10-11”

When we read about Jesus’ earthly ministry, we tend to focus on all the things that He did. Jesus preached, taught, healed, performed miracles, and confronted those who opposed Him. Yet even as He took on all these tasks, Jesus didn’t minister alone. Part of what He did while He was here on earth wasContinue reading “Day 321: Luke 8-9”

One of the dangers Christians face in trying to live for Christ is determining what it takes to live an obedient life. We have the principle laid down in God’s Word, and many of them are clear, making it easy to know when we have kept them and when we have violated them. Many othersContinue reading “Day 320: Luke 6-7”

People find it hard to subject themselves to the authority of others. Whether it is their boss at work, a parent at home, a government official, or a religious leader, people are suspicious that the person in charge.
