Thank you, Beth, for your continuing deep dive into this much beloved Gospel of Luke. Your insights provide a fresh perspective and infuse new meanings into Jesus' life and times and his extraordinary spiritual accomplishments.
I appreciate your kind words, John. It is a rewarding endeavor for me to dig back into this text to illumine the nuances and trajectories that are often overlooked. Blessings!
