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!!!
CONCLUSION:
1. HAVE YOU DRAWN UP AN ACCOUNT IN YOUR HEART
ABOUT JESUS?
A. SALVATION
B. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF HIS LORDSHIP
C. ARE YOU A SERVANT OF THE "WORD"
2. HAVE YOU INVESTIGATED WHO JESUS REALLY IS TO
YOU?
