Strive to Enter the Kingdom
Luke 13:22-24 As we reengage our minds in the study of Luke’s Gospel, I’d just invite you to turn back again to that, beloved book, and you can turn to the middle of Luke 13, Luke chapter 13. We are entering into a new section in this place, Luke 13:22, a new section in, in this Gospel. It’s got a clear theme and it starts in Luke 13:22 and continues on through Chapter 16.
