Luke

 

Luke

Luke was a Physician, probably a Greek, a companion of Paul on some of his journeys. Luke was the only Gentile writer of the gospels. He wrote this book with the Greeks in mind. He presented Christ as the perfect Son of Man, the Compassionate Savior.

You will come to love the compassionate Son of Man who cares for those in need and wants His message of salvation to be taken to the whole world.

Luke records the Lord’s birth and early life. His baptism and temptations. His ministry in Galilee, His ministry on the way to Jerusalem, and His final week of ministry in Jerusalem.

Paul called Luke the beloved physician. He was a compassionate doctor, a thoughtful man of science, and a careful observer of people and events.

Luke writes of three parables from Jesus that illustrate how lost “things” are found to show that Jesus is serious about saving the lost, especially those who think themselves to be “unredeemable.”

Being a Gentile doctor, Paul described him as “aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, strangers from the covenant promise, having no hope without God in the world.” Ephesians 2:12.

Luke, being grafted into the lineage of the Jews through Faith in Christ, he wrote a book that offered opportunity to all.

Jesus places a high value on finding lost souls and bringing them home to God. When He does, the angels throw a party in heaven. Imagine that!
