I have been asked more than once, why are we going through the Gospel of Luke during Lent? Why not Matthew, Mark or John? Luke is the most thematic of the Gospels and was written by a Gentile physician and missionary. Luke gives us a picture of Jesus as the Messiah whose life, death and resurrection is available to bring all of us into eternal life! And there is one more thing, according to one theologian, Luke’s gospel has more meal-time scenes than any others. That says a lot about me! HA!
