Luke: Exploring the Life of JesusSample

DAY V // DISTRACTIONS AND PRIORITIES

We live in a world that seems to value busyness and work ethic above almost everything else. We might even think that in order to be an important person we have to always be busy or constantly have our calendars full. Yet as today’s passage shows us, busyness can actually distract us from the most important thing of all.

As we continue our exploration of the book of Luke, you may have  noticed that Jesus often has a different response to situations than  those around him. You may have even been surprised yourself at the things Jesus did and said!

Throughout the book of Luke, Jesus is inviting us into his kingdom and to begin to see things differently—to see things the way that he sees them.

Jesus helps to readjust our focus, give us perspective on what is truly valuable and invites us to discover the one thing that matters most in life.
