The Gospel According to Luke - Luke 13:31-35

3 May 2026

The sermon centers on Luke 13 and invites listeners to stand in awe of Jesus. It highlights Jesus’ complete control as he continues steadily toward Jerusalem, fully aware of the suffering ahead and unshaken by political threats or human schemes. His death is presented not as a tragic accident but as part of God’s saving purpose, revealing a Savior who is both sovereign and courageous.

At the same time, the sermon emphasizes Jesus’ tender heart. Even toward those who reject him, he is grieving, compassionate, and eager to gather people to himself like a mother bird sheltering her young. His warning of judgment over Jerusalem is serious, yet even there mercy remains open to those who repent. The main call is to behold Jesus in his glory so that his love, power, and mercy would humble, heal, and transform people to live with courage, forgiveness, and renewed purpose.
