1 Chronicles 7-9, Psalm 127, Luke 8:1-15, Colossians 2:8-15 Luke 8:1-15: Jesus continues to preach and evangelize the kingdom of God. The twelve disciples are with him as are Mary, Joanna and Susanna. Mary had had “seven demons” cast out of her—a surely dramatic conversion. Joanna was from a more reputable background, indeed of high influence, the wife of Herod’s household manager—her conversion was nonetheless radical if less dramatic. And then Susanna, who is neither elite nor charlatan in background—but whose conversion, if more standard by the world’s standards, is also radical and real.
