Luke: The Life and Ministry of Jesus – …most excellent Theophilus

Messages

The Gospel of Luke is in the form of a letter to a man named Theophilus. Luke wrote after having carefully investigated all the facts about Christ. Luke documents Christ’s life from before his birth through his ministry death and resurrection. Jesus carried out his ministry in the power of the Holy Spirit announcing the good news of salvation. He showed numerous times his compassion for the poor and the outcast. He fulfilled prophecy and carried out his purpose; to seek and save the lost. Luke gives the fullest account of Christ’s birth and only Luke records the parables of the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son.
