Third Sunday of the Year

Jesus’ words today are his first in Luke’s Gospel and caused quite some commotion in the community. Luke begins by pointing out that the driving force in Jesus life reflects God’s passion for people. An awareness of the direction of the Spirit is necessary because, as Jesus’ followers, we are implicated.
