Luke 12:35 - 13:17

Gospel of LukeSteve Gregg
In Luke 12:35-13:17, Steve Gregg discusses Jesus' teachings on being prepared for the return of the master and the potential judgment to come. He argues that Jesus' reference to sending fire on the earth may be referring to this judgment, rather than a positive spiritual revival. Gregg also addresses Jesus' message that those who do not follow him may face persecution and the importance of not judging others unfairly. In Chapter 13, the discussion shifts to events that may foreshadow the coming destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70.
