Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Luke 13:34

We all experience great loss- the loss of a relationship, a job, a loved one, or simply the loss of life as it once was. We’re sure that life is not supposed to be this way and so we grieve and mourn for what could have been. And we’re not alone. Part 3 of this series will help us learn the language and heart of lament in Scripture.

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 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.

You know, it’s funny. When we read Bible stories, we tend to view the characters as supernatural beings – heroes at the least and almost perfect people close to deities at the most. Neither is probably true. Oh sure, they accomplished heroic deeds and are worthy of admiration, but the truth is they were humans, just like us, with all our foibles and failures, fears, and worries. Maybe it’s time to see them for who they really are and experience what it might have been like to witness firsthand the true Christmas miracle.

Through Christ's death and resurrection, we receive grace upon grace–more than we could ever need or exhaust. This plan helps readers reflect upon all the spiritual blessings our Father has given us in Christ as we learn to rest deeper in His grace, experience greater freedom through His truth, and ever-deepening intimacy with our Savior.
