The Gospel according to Luke is the longest and most thorough account of Jesus’ life that we have. A key attribute of this gospel is the way Jesus is portrayed interacting with people of all kinds of backgrounds and walks of life, and showing them that he’s come to seek and save the lost. Jesus truly is for everyone.
Reflection Questions:
- Who do you relate to more in this story—the woman in need of freedom or the synagogue leader caught up in rules?
- Where have you seen legalism steal hope, peace, joy, or love in your life or others’?
- How can you show Jesus’ tenderness to someone who is hurting this week?
- What small work of God in your life can you celebrate and rejoice in right now?
