Luke’s Gospel - An Introduction

New Testament Book of Luke Summarised in 1 Minute Key Verses

Luke 1:3-4 - it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus; that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed. Luke 19:10 - For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost."

Summary

Luke presents Jesus as the God-Man, a saviour for the entire world, writing primarily to Gentiles. He does this from a broad vantage point that is compatible with the fact that he is a Greek. Luke traces Jesus' incarnation, introduction, public ministry, rejection, subsequent teaching in view of His rejection, the cross, resurrection and ascension. Even though a Gentile, Luke emphasizes the kingdom program, with Israel's place in the kingdom.
