Luke 23

Luke 23:38

And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Christ did come. He came into this world as a little child. Meek and lowly. He performed many miracles. He was about His Father's business. He taught those around Him how to serve, to be kind to one another, the importance of keeping His commandments, He laid out the organization of His church, and He taught His gospel.
This chapter is about the crucifixion of the Lord. We all know the story of how it happened. But I really love that while He was being mocked and being crucified for being what He said He was, there still on the cross were the words King of the Jews. That is what He was and still is. He is the King and the Savior of the world.

Luke 22

Luke 22:32

But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

There is so much in this chapter. Christ is betrayed by one of His own disciples. He does the sacrament-  the sacrament is in remembrance of Him. Christ goes to the Mount of Olives. He does this so He can take upon Him the sins of the world. He bleeds from every pore. He asks for His disciples to not enter into temptation and to stay with Him. Even an angel comes to help HIm through the process.

With everything that is said within this chapter I really liked the above scripture because with all that was going on at this point in Christ's life- He was still praying for those around Him. He could have been selfish but again He put others first. He prays for us, that we can have and keep the faith that we need and then use that faith to help others around us.

Luke 13

Luke 13:34

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and we would not!

Cross reference-
D&C 29:2- Who will gather his people even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, even as many as will hearken to my voice and humble themselves before me, and call upon me in mighty prayer.

Luke 2

Luke 2:11

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Christ was born to Mary. The star of Bethlehem witnessed the birth of the Savior. He came not into this world wearing a velvet robe or having a golden throne. But a manger only, that didn't house any worldly things, that made that child a King.
