Jesus delivers powerful teachings on generosity, end times, and vigilance. He praises a poor widow's humble offering, predicts the temple's destruction, and warns of future wars, disasters, and persecutions, urging steadfast faith. Foretelling Jerusalem's fall and cosmic signs of His return, Jesus emphasizes the need for constant vigilance and prayer to stand strong when the Son of Man comes in glory.

The Rev. Kelly Krieg, pastor of Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Brenham, TX, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Luke 21.

The Gospel of Luke, filled with rich narratives and detailed accounts, offers an inspired and historical perspective on the life and teachings of Jesus. Emphasizing Jesus’ concern for the poor, outcasts, and social justice, this Gospel narrates parables and miracles that underscore the theme of God’s salvation for all people. Luke’s account is unique in its inclusion of the birth of John the Baptist, the parable of the Good Samaritan, and the story of the Prodigal Son, culminating in a vivid portrayal of Jesus’ death and resurrection, affirming the universal offer of redemption. This Gospel serves as an invitation to understand the depth of God’s love and the breadth of His grace extended to humanity through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
