There are two things I like about Luke above all others: first, his characters frequently thank Jesus for his miracles. I mean, imagine you've just been cured of leprosy or got your sight back and you just walk away without acknowledging the healer; it doesn't seem real, does it?
The second thing I like is that people repent after they've met Jesus not as a necessary precondition for meeting him. It is when people get to know him that they see the error of their ways. Now that’s what I call genuine discipleship.
This year's Advent Firesiders — fireside reading for Advent — are now available in three parts: Luke i, Luke ii and Luke iii.
