If you have time, dedicate a few minutes to read the entire Chapter 24 of the Book of Luke today, the last Chapter. 
If you have read a chapter each day, you'll find that by today, you'll have traversed the entire gospel according to Luke, accompanying Jesus on the remarkable journey of his life. 
(DONE IS BETTER THAN PERFECT! This Advent Season, 2025, is a busy one, and some episodes might be recycled from a previous year. In other words, the day of the week might not line up perfectly with the actual date. I ask for your grace and pray you will still receive the message Jesus is sending to your heart as you listen to each episode.)

As we get closer to Christmas, it is normal to get out of our daily routines. But how can we find joy in the unexpected, out-of-the-ordinary moments that break the routine of our daily lives?
If you have time, dedicate a few minutes to read the entire Chapter 23 of the Book of Luke today. By dedicating a chapter each day, you'll find that by Christmas day, you'll have traversed the entire gospel according to Luke, accompanying Jesus on the remarkable journey of his life.
