25 | A Study of Luke: The Triumphal Entry through the Resurrection (Chapters 19-24)

Do you ever slow down long enough to take in the final days of Jesus’ earthly ministry—not just the resurrection, but everything that led up to it? In this final episode of our Luke Study, we’re walking through Luke chapters 19 through 24. This is the final stretch of Jesus’ earthly ministry—His entry into Jerusalem, His teaching in the temple, His betrayal, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. These chapters bring us straight to the heart of why Jesus came. What we see is Jesus continuing forward, even knowing what’s ahead. Nothing catches Him off guard. Nothing is accidental. Every step is purposeful, even when the cost becomes clear. You’ll hear about: ✨ Jesus’ encounter with Zacchaeus and how true repentance leads to real transformation ✨ The Parable of the Ten Minas and the call to be faithful with what God has given us ✨ Jesus’ authority being questioned—and how He exposes hypocrisy and empty religion ✨ The widow’s offering, end-time warnings, and the call to remain watchful and prayerful ✨ The Last Supper, betrayal, denial, and Jesus’ prayer in Gethsemane ✨ The crucifixion, forgiveness at the cross, and the promise of redemption ✨ The resurrection, the road to Emmaus, and Jesus’ final commission From Zacchaeus to the thief on the cross, we see the same invitation over and over again: to come close, to turn toward Jesus, and to trust Him. Luke doesn’t end with answers to every question or neat resolutions for every struggle. It ends with a risen Savior and ordinary people learning to live differently because of Him. The story doesn’t end at the cross. And it doesn’t end at the empty tomb. It continues in our lives, every single day, as we follow Jesus—one step at a time. Because that’s where we find peace. 📚 Resources Mentioned 🛒Simple Daily Faith - Scripture Verse Cards & Sugar Scrubs 🛒 My favorite Things → Amazon Storefront 📚 Get on the Waitlist for the "How to Study the Bible" Course 💌 Connect With Me 📧 Email → [email protected] 🎙️ Podcast → Peace Over Perfection on Apple Podcasts 📸 Instagram → @susan.shropshire 🎵 TikTok → @susanshropshire
