To the right, under materials, you’ll see “Study: Luke in 30 days.” This is actually the foundation for this Web/blog site. It took me probably a year to study and write this, and I originally intended to have it published into a book.
But thinking it through, I pondered why anyone should have to pay for a Bible study. My goal isn’t to make money, but to get the wonderful truth out that I discovered about Christ from the book of Luke. The title of the study is “Fresh Air: A devotional look at Christ’s perfect balance of truth and mercy from the book of Luke.”
I’m a student of the description God gave of himself in Ex. 34:6-7 when he told Moses who he was. “And the Lord passed by before him and proclaimed: The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty…”
I figured, if God is like that, then Jesus must demonstrate that in skin. So I studied through Luke looking to see how Jesus embodied those verses. And sure enough—he was a gracious, merciful, longsuffering savior abundant in goodness and truth. In fact, he was the perfect balance of mercy and truth. You’ll read all about that in the study.
What I hope is that if you’re an individual reading this site, you’ll take the challenge to go through one of these chapters each day for a month and do the “for further meditation” at the end of each lesson.
If you’re a pastor or church leader reading it, I offer the same challenge to you, but also, look at this as material you could pass along to those you think need this truth. It could also be used as a class study going through the “for further meditation” as a class. It will change your life. It did mine.
