Jesus came to pick up the lowly. In the Gospel of Luke, a first-century portrait of Jesus, we find stories of Jesus’ ministry with ordinary, unexpected people. They weren’t perfect. Many of them were struggling and didn’t have their acts together. Some of them were outsiders or even outlaws. Whoever they were, Jesus brought good news of God’s kingdom to those who most needed to hear it. That includes you and me. Series based on the book Luke: Jesus and the Outsiders, Outcasts, and Outlaws by Adam Hamilton.
The Crucified and Resurrected Life: The Resurrection is God’s final act of lifting up the lowly. In the Resurrection, Jesus defeats death and evil.
