My son and I have been on a multi-year journey through Charlotte Mason’s The Saviour of the World, and we are currently on volume 6. This volume covers an extended portion of the Gospel of Luke that contains material not found in any other Gospel. It has been an eye-opening study for me.

Luke seems to delight in recording details about our Lord’s final journey to Jerusalem. Reading Luke’s gospel in the light of the Gospel History has helped me appreciate these passages in a whole different light. It evidently captured Charlotte Mason’s imagination as well.

In Luke 13:22 we read, “And He went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.” Miss Mason lingered on this thought of Jesus and His journey to the momentous events soon to follow. Her poem about this verse brings us into the moment, and invites us to reflect more deeply on our Lord and His Word. Read or hear her poem here.
