Today's podcast for 'Reading Luke in Lent' looks at Luke, Chapter 12: 1-21.
On the journey to Jerusalem the focus of Jesus’ preaching is what it means to be a disciple. In a passage which stretches into the next chapter Jesus talks to the crowd. It is a varied speech, sometimes it is directed just to the disciples, some to everyone; sometimes he is interrupted. The whole passage gives us a flavour of the dynamics of his preaching.
The direction in which they are heading maybe Jerusalem but Jesus reminds the disciples of their ultimate destiny — the kingdom of heaven.
'Reading Luke in Lent' is a series of simple podcasts for the Lenten season offering a daily reading from St Luke - covering the Gospel from start to finish - from Ash Wednesday to the first week of Easter.
