Dude, who gave Jesus the microphone in this chapter? This is like Jesus with ADD. Its almost like a random collection of thoughts than a chapter or storyline.
What I loved about reading this chapter is that I think it pinpoints Luke's characterization of Jesus. "Do you think that I have come to bring peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division!" (12:51). Jesus came to make these people, and us, think! How Lutheran is that? I think that this quote justifies a bit of the attitude that Jesus has throughout the gospel of Luke. He scolds random people and answers questions with bigger questions and "Woe to you." He's not here to leave a trail of bunnies and roses, he is here to challenge and tell us to be unsatisfied with the injustices in the world.
