Lent is a season of repentance, self-reflection, and renewal. Starting on Ash Wednesday, the church is encouraged to proclaim a fast lasting 40 days (excluding Sundays). As we fast, we will consider the “Travel Narratives” in the gospel of Luke. Jesus “sets his eyes toward Jerusalem”. During his journey, Luke records some of his most impactful teaching and some intriguing encounters. As we reflect on his journey, we consider our own spiritual journey in our corner of the earth.

The Good Samaritan is a famed parable that was told in response to a question. “Who is my neighbor?” a Pharisee asked. Jesus responded with a story that not only has infiltrated secular culture and a part of our regular lexicon. In an age of increased diversity and differences, what does taking a journey with folks who are not like us look like?

When Jesus called followers, he insisted they know what following him entailed. As we read through Luke, we see that Jesus was adamant about telling disciples that there are costs associated with following. How are we to navigate these obstacles and mitigate these costs?

Many have depicted Luke 9:51 as a definitive marker in the gospel of Luke. From this point on, we read of Jesus’ eventful journey to the cross. Along the way, Jesus is calling men and women to follow him, but he stresses that there will be costs. Who will follow Jesus?
