About this episode

The episode discusses the teachings of Jesus as presented in the Gospel of Luke, focusing on the concept of receiving life with God rather than achieving it.

We continue our series in the Gospel of Luke, one of four eyewitness accounts of Jesus’ words and works. In them we learn of his life, death, and resurrection to rescue his people from among the neighborhoods of Seattle and the nations of the world. Today, Jesus reframes reality for us. He reveals that life with God is received, not achieved; we will always get more than we give up.
