Let’s remove our spiritual shoes as we stand outside the sacred Garden of Gethsemane and watch. Jesus went through a solemn, heartbreaking night of prayer and suffering. The mystery of this night is not ours to uncover, but we can show gratefulness to the Lord for His sacrifice. Worship the Lord at the gate of Gethsemane, even if we don’t know all the answers.

Get ready to partake in the last Passover and watch Jesus turn it into a new feast—the Lord’s Supper. Then, see Jesus as our Intercessor. In Luke 22:32, Jesus said to Peter, “But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail.” Jesus said these words just before letting Peter know he would deny Him three times. Be encouraged to know that, even if we fail, our faith won’t.

God doesn’t want your money; He wants your heart. In Luke 21, Jesus used the widow who gave two mites—all that she had—as an example of grace giving. She trusted the Lord to provide for her. Follow along in Luke 21 to be reminded that it’s really not about what you give—but what you keep for yourself—that matters to God.

Jesus welcomes our questions, but we need to approach Him as He teaches us to approach all things— humbly. In Luke 20, the Pharisees, Sadducees, priests, and scribes all questioned Him—but not humbly. They were trying to test Him and trap Him so they could prove He was a false prophet. Listen in and notice how Jesus responds with grace, humility, power, and authority.

Get a glimpse of Jesus and He’ll change your whole life. Zacchaeus wasn’t expecting to talk to Jesus at all; he just wanted to catch a glimpse of Him. But Jesus had better plans. Listen in as Dr. McGee shares how God used this somewhat humorous interaction to teach us that “the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10).

Think of that one friend you just love spending time with. That’s how it would have felt to be with Jesus. He was a serious, perfect person, but that didn’t mean He wasn’t fun and enjoyable to be with. People flocked to Him for a reason—He was likeable! Be welcomed today into the company of Jesus as both our Lord and friend.

Have a little faith, and God will take care of the rest. When some of Jesus’ instructions seemed difficult or impossible to follow, the apostles asked, “Lord, increase our faith.” What did Jesus do? He simply continued to teach them that their duty as His followers was to have faith in Him. In today’s lesson, learn more about forgiveness, faith, and the soul’s final destination—either heaven or hell.

Too often, we esteem people or things that have little to do with the message of the gospel. Jesus makes some bold statements in Luke 16. He said to the Pharisees, “What is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God” (Luke 16:14). Follow along as Dr. McGee teaches through the parable of the unjust steward and reminds us that we cannot serve two masters. Listen to the bold statements Jesus makes, and discover how they apply to us today.

A lot of things get lost today on the Bible Bus. Can you help us find them? Or better yet—can you find Jesus pictured in these three parables? First, we’ll hear the parable of the lost sheep. Then, the lost coin. Then, the two lost sons. Discover God as Jesus, the great Shepherd who saved you; the Holy Spirit, God’s presence guiding you; and the Father with arms wide open, welcoming you home.
