Luke 13:31

The busyness of everyday life, the disappointment, and heartbreak, the broken relationships that wound us to the core…all lead to tragic forgetfulness. Have you forgotten that Jesus still loves you desperately? Let this 6-day devotional from Andrew Palau remind you: Jesus will never forget you. He's moved with compassion for you. He cares about every detail of your life. He longs to be with you—right now.

This seven-day devotional traces Jesus's final journey to Jerusalem, from his first announcement of what awaited him there to his arrival in nearby Bethany. Through Scripture readings and reflections, we’ll put ourselves in the shoes of Jesus’s companions—experiencing their hopes, fears, and moments of faith. As we witness Jesus's unwavering resolve in the face of what lies ahead, we'll consider what it truly means to follow him, even when God's plans challenge our expectations.

This reading plan explores the third Gospel. Luke described Jesus Christ as the one who saves. Humanity is lost and desperate, without help or hope, in need of salvation. The third Gospel reminds us that Jesus died to save us.

Luke’s Gospel is a beautiful and powerful telling of the life of Jesus. Luke focuses on Jesus as the Son of Man, the foretold Messiah who came to “seek and save the lost” (Luke 19:10). This Gospel shows us the “Upside-Down Kingdom” - that God uses what the world deems foolish and weak to shame the wise and strong.
