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 continues his “Sermon on the Plain”, a shortened version of his “Sermon on the Mount” (Mt. 5-7). Here he emphasizes that how we handle the sin of others always begins with our own hearts.
