Proper 28

Luke 21.5-19

In our time - Week 3 of 4

Four weeks in which we see how Luke explores the significance of the crucifixion for his readers, then and now.

Security in turmoil

Luke’s story moves on apace and the shadow of the cross looms large over Jesus in Jerusalem. The destruction of the Temple is foretold and other menacing signs emerge.

This week’s reading, Luke 21.5-19, provides an opportunity to:

  • reflect on living creatively under suffering (AAA & CYP)
  • ask in what we place our trust (AAA & CYP)
  • consider what distracts us. (AAA & CYP)

These resources were first published in 2013.
