It's God's will to gather us close to Him, but it's also His lament that it is not our will to be gathered to Him.
Luke 14:1-11 Are you still Thristy?
It's shocking to hear from Jesus that only a few with find eternal life. Thus, Luke 13:22-30 proves to be one of the most sobering sections of the Gospels for anyone — especially for those of us who think that we're already counted among the "few."
Luke 13:22-30 Enter Through the Narrow Door
Using two very interesting parables, Jesus describes the Kingdom as fast spreading yet completely repulsive. Gain insight into Jesus' metaphors and resolve to never compromise the Kingdom message — no matter how revolting your hearers may consider it.
Organized systems are better than disorganization. But systems never trump Jesus, and for Jesus systems never trump people. Here He heals a woman severely disabled for eighteen years to make His point.
Mark 5:21-43 Dig Deep
Luke 12:48-59 Don't waste your opportunity
Jesus affirms that we've got the discernment to realize that we need to repent — and to do so quickly. Moreover, He also lets us know that He's done all that He can to exhort us to repent (which of course will include dying on a cross for our sinful indulgences, providing us the Word, and arranging time and space for us to prompted to seek Him). He's emphatic about repentance because it is our deliverance from slavery to sin AND because it's better than the alternative: perishing.

Luke 12:35-48 Be Alert
““I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed! Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”” (Luke 12:49–53, NIV)
He's Coming... so Wake Up ... and Gird Yourself. Have you ever entertained seeds of doubt about the return of Jesus? He gets it. And so He addresses it here. Stay watchful, because He's coming at a time you won't expect.
Why We Shouldn't Worry Luke 12:22-34
Jesus provides ample reasons to not worry as he reassures us of the Father's benevolent and intimate care for us. Our best safeguard against worry is a life redirected toward God's Kingdom rather than one focused on self and stuff.
