Losing to Win the Long Game
If we want to understand why Jerusalem was missed (Luke 19:40-44), we have to hear what Jesus said long before they got there. Terry shares that Lent begins where Jesus begins: not with inspiration, but surrender. In Luke 9:23–26, Jesus defines discipleship as daily cross-bearing—allegiance that risks loss, refuses shame, and trusts resurrection as what makes all this make sense. We have to lose, to win the long game.
Series Information
Terry proclaims the one Gospel through the history, research, rememberings and faith expressed in the text of the Gospel According to Luke. Jesus himself is the good news expressed by Luke. Beginning with the birth narratives unique to Luke's presentation, the good news of the Kingdom explodes into faithful view as each account, teaching, parable and event lived out and offered by Jesus, the Messiah-King, is examined the way Luke seemingly examined Jesus in his own work. Here we find a Jesus to love, a Jesus to follow, and ultimately a Jesus to worship.
