Meet Me in the Gospel of Luke, Part 1 includes Luke chapters 1-13.

Why study the Gospel of Luke?

The four Gospels give testimony to the life and teaching of Jesus Christ.

Luke was the only Gentile of the four Gospel authors, and he emphasized Jesus as the Son of Man coming to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10).

Luke recorded a careful and orderly account of the events of Jesus Christ’s life so that believers could have certainty about what they were taught (Luke 1:1-4).

Luke’s Gospel portrays the deep compassion Jesus has for the marginalized and the outcast. Again and again in Luke’s Gospel, we read about Jesus demonstrating compassion for the sick, the poor, sinners, women (especially widows), children, and the elderly. Here are just a few:

• The widow of Nain whose only son had died

• Elizabeth, a barren and elderly woman who became the mother of John the Baptist

• Zacchaeus, the chief tax collector

• The two criminals crucified alongside Jesus

The Gospel of Luke paints a picture of the cost the Lord Jesus paid to seek and save the lost. I pray you get to know him better and better as you study the Gospel of Luke.
