…it seemed good to me to write an orderly account… that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught. (Luke 1:3-4)

We continue to fix our eyes on Jesus as we walk through Lent, switching from John’s perspective to Luke’s, while largely following the Lectionary readings.

In this series, with a brief diversion for Mothering Sunday to celebrate the women in our lives, we build towards the climax of Easter with Luke’s help. We will glimpse further aspects of Jesus’ experience and emotion as the shadow of the cross looms larger, as well as some of the ways that Jesus prepares the people around him for what is to come. As we move through the series, our earlier portrait of Jesus therefore comes into sharper focus as, at the same time, we hear his stark warnings and are provoked to examine our own hearts afresh.
