Luke

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.

The Gospel According To Luke

This reading plan is part of a series that will take you through the entire New Testament in a year. Each month's plan covers a specific book. May covers the first half of Luke. Read the daily passage first, reflect on one or more questions, then try the engagement practice.

New Testament in a Year: May

Amazing Stories is a series of animated videos featuring Bible stories that share God’s redemptive narrative across all Scripture. A short, animated video about how Jesus healed people while he was on Earth tells a New Testament story for each day of the five-part plan.

Amazing Stories - Jesus the Healer

In this parable, Jesus teaches us that we should keep asking, searching, and knocking when we pray. He wants us to understand that if we're persistent in our prayers, just like the friend eventually helped, God will also respond to our persistent requests when we seek Him. Read and be blessed. 

The Late Night Visitor

Christmas is filled with wonder. Still, its promise can be lost in must-do lists, preparing for celebrations when provisions seem slim, or the advent of sometimes-messy family relationships. Let's invite the Holy Spirit to reveal God’s gifts for us by Unwrapping Christmas refreshments from Luke's Gospel. Realizing that in this lifetime, we will only begin to scratch the surface of who Jesus is and what He has done.   

Unwrapping Christmas - Viewing the Nativity Through Luke's Eyes

A blind beggar crying out desperately by the side of the road, an immoral woman despised as dirty by polite society, a corrupt government employee hated by all – how could any of these people from society’s fringes hope to connect with a holy God? Based on insights from the book of Luke in the Africa Study Bible, follow Jesus as he bridges the gap between God and the marginalized.

Following Jesus Our Mediator

The magi, or “wise men,” are known for their gifts to baby Jesus—gold, frankincense, and myrrh. But their story goes beyond giving; they also received profound gifts from God. In this 3-day reading plan, we’ll explore the three gifts God gave the magi and still offers us today. Based on The Gifts the Magi Received by Stephen Unwin, published by Our Daily Bread Ministries Australia, this plan reveals the generosity at the heart of their journey and the gifts that continue to inspire us.

The Gifts the Magi Received

As the people in the story of Jesus’ birth are transformed by God’s salvation, we are also challenged to receive his salvation. God’s message is working its way out through us: through our humanity, and our yearnings and longings, and God’s presence in the midst of them. So, lean in and listen. Make room for God, and as he dwells within you, the world will see Jesus in the flesh.
