This is the reading from Luke 13 in our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Good News of Great Joy reading guide⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Luke 13 reminds us of the urgency of repentance and the boundless grace of God, who gives opportunities to bear fruit and enter His kingdom. Jesus’ healing of the crippled woman and His lament over Jerusalem reveal His compassion and desire for restoration. During Advent, may we examine our hearts, turn from sin, and embrace the hope of the Kingdom, remembering that Christ’s coming brings both salvation and a call to faithful discipleship.
