Luke's Presentation Of Jesus To The World

FROM DAMASCUS ROAD CHURCH--BOONVILLE, INDIANA--DECEMBER 2002.

THE PRESENTATION OF JESUS TO THE WORLD WAS ONE THING THAT DR. LUKE DID IN A SUPERB WAY--HIS COMING TO EARTH WAS SO IMPORTANT TO LUKE THAT HE TOOK PAINSTAKING TIME AND RESOURCES TO SHOW THE WORLD THAT JESUS WAS NOT ONLY MESSIAH, BUT ALSO THE UNIVERSAL SAVIOR WHO COULD BE THE SAVIOR OF "WHOSOEVER" MIGHT COME TO HIM.

LUKE WROTE 27% OF THE NEW TESTAMENT:

1. LUKE

2. ACTS

3. A BRILLIANT PHYSICIAN

4. VERY SCIENTIFIC

5. VERY DETAILED

6. WROTE ABOUT JESUS’ HUMANITY AS WELL AS HIS

DEITY.

LUKE 1:1-4:

1. DRAWING UP AN ACCOUNT

2. THE LIFE OF JESUS AND THE FULFILLMENT OF OLD

TESTAMENT PROPHECY

3. EYEWITNESSES--DESCRIBE PETER AND HIS CONTRIBU-

TION.

4. SERVANTS OF THE WORD---WERE SERVANTS OF "THE

WORD"

5. INVESTIGATIONS

6. ORDERLY ACCOUNT OF JESUS’ LIFE

7. TO THEOPHILUS--"GOD LOVER"

8. IN ORDER TO KNOW CERTAINLY THAT JESUS WAS THE

SON OF GOD

THE LIFE OF JESUS SHOULD THRILL OUR SOULS AS IT DID

LUKE!!!
