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 a people of his own from among the nations—even us. In our passage today, Jesus concludes his heart-tenderizing “Sermon on the Plain”. As he closes, he gets us to consider what we’re building our lives on—hearing alone, or hearing and heeding. Everything, in this life and the next, depends on our answer.
