Teaching on Luke (Page 19)

To present Jesus as the answer to the needs and hopes of the human race. Addressed to a high-ranking Gentile official, Theophilus, the Gospel is intended to give certainty in the historical person of Jesus, who is called the “Son of Man” 26 times. The Gospel also serves as “Part 1” of a two-part history of the Christian faith written to the same individual, with the book of Acts serving as “Part 2.”

Theology of Mercy

Luke 6:36 Luke 6:36, which says, “Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.” “Be merciful, as your Father is merciful.” And again we see, just by way of introduction as we get started, it’s the character of God that sets the standard for our character. And we need to understand it’s not just for our behavior, as important as our outward…

What Makes Us Truly, Gloriously Different

Luke 6:32-35 Turn in your Bibles, if you haven’t already, to Luke 6:32. Luke 6:32.
