Luke: Gut-Level Compassion

North Campus: Room A126

Tuesdays: January 7 – May 6

 

Written around 60 A.D., Luke crafted a two volume, structured account of the life of Jesus and the growth of the early church. The Gospel begins with the birth of Jesus in the context of Roman history and rule, then follows Jesus as he travels from Galilee through Samaria and Judea and Jerusalem. 

As a non-Jew and outsider, we should not be surprised that Luke writes to highlight those seen as outliers and outcasts, those deemed misfits and unfit. He takes the least of these, the unlovely, the impoverished, the invisible, and brings all of them to Jesus, who embraces them with a deep, visceral, active compassion that changes their lives forever. 

If you have ever struggled with feeling like you aren’t quite good enough or maybe you don’t fit in, then this beautiful book is for you!  You are invited to join Lisa Harper, and others, to run into the arms of Jesus and experience the fullness of his gut-level compassion unlike any other love you will ever know.
