Journey Through the Gospel of Lukeਨਮੂਨਾ

Intro
Nicole tees up Luke’s Gospel emphasis on the lost and the least.
Kingdom of Lost, Last & Least: In the Text
This lesson has a number of stories that highlight the unexpected characters that Jesus highlighted as those God was seeking. From your Bible reading and these videos, see how many kinds of people you can count.
The Gospel of Women
Zacchaeus & Discipleship
The parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector is a powerful illustration of the importance of humility and the degree to which God values this virtue. After the tax collector beats his chest and prays for mercy Jesus says:
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.
Luke 18:14 (ESV)
But this parable is only part of the picture. You may think that God asks for nothing more than repentance or an attitude of humility. God does want these things, but he wants them in the context of a personal encounter with him. Following Jesus requires more than a disposition, it requires us to act and to live as his disciple. The story of another tax collector Zacchaeus, a chapter later, expands on the earlier parable.
