https://netbible.org/bible/Luke+21-22/

This is day 299 of our journey.

While in the temple courts, Jesus observes the people giving their gifts. He surprises the disciples by praising a poor widow for her gift of two copper coins, everything she owned. He then begins to speak of the signs of the end of the age. He warns them to be watchful and pay attention to the signs so they won't be caught unprepared for his return. When the Passover comes, Jesus and his disciples gather in a home to eat the Passover meal. During the meal, Jesus institutes a worshipful practice that we now know as communion and warns of the things that will happen that evening. After dinner, they go out to the Mount of Olives to pray. Jesus is in such anguish that he actually sweats drops of blood! In a quiet place, our Lord recommits himself to the will of the father and returns to his disciples. Shortly thereafter, Judas arrives to betray Jesus and Jesus is taken captive to be condemned by the chief priests.

Join me in Luke 21-22 as Jesus submits himself to the will of the Father.

Key verses:

Luke 21:28

But when these things begin to happen, stand up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

Luke 22:26

Not so with you; instead the one who is greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the one who serves.
