De la contraportada

LUKE. In the New Testament’s longest book, Luke, the physician friend of the Apostle Paul, reveals Jesus as the Man who came to save all-including women, the poor, the outcast, the sick, and the ordinary, everyday people of every nation. Luke’s vivid, fast-moving report offers a gospel of reconciliation and celebration. This Bible study traces Luke’s story from the announcement of Jesus’ birth, through His ministry in Galilee and His training of the disciples on the way to Jerusalem, to His submission to the crucifixion and His ultimate triumph in the resurrection. LifeChange Series: Christians have a lifelong goal: to become like Christ. This involves change, and change isn’t always easy. But the more you know of God’s purposes for you, the more you can experience His joy and participate in His plan. The LifeChange Series of Bible studies on books of the Bible can help you grow in Christlikeness through a life-changing encounter with God’s Word. You’ll benefit in these important ways: 1) You’ll gain a firm understanding of the book-its historical context, purpose, structure, and meaning; 2) You’ll apply its powerful, relevant wisdom to needs and issues you are currently working through; and 3) You’ll acquire personal study skills and a thirst to return to the book on your own-so you can keep going deeper into its life-transforming truths.

CHAPTER 1

Lesson OneLUKE 1:1-4

Overview


The best way to introduce yourself to Luke's gospel is to read it through, in one sitting if possible. It should take you about two hours if you read quickly for an overall impression. If your Bible includes subtitles for passages, use them as clues to the story's movement.

As you read, jot down answers to questions 1–6. Questions 7 and following relate to particular sections of Luke's gospel.


First impressions

1. What are your first impressions of Luke's book? What is it about? What overall impression does it give you of Jesus? If you had to pick a single term to describe Luke's gospel, what would it be?

Prologue

In classical Greek style, Luke begins his work with a formal dedication to his patron (the man who is probably helping to pay for publishing the book). The dedication offers several clues to Luke's intent in writing this book.


Study Skill — Themes and Purposes

Before you study a book in detail, it is helpful to make some tentative conclusions about the book's themes and purposes. A theme is a main topic that recurs throughout the book, such as "salvation." A purpose is a reason the author wrote, such as "to teach Gentile readers about salvation."

One reading of Luke's gospel may not give you a firm sense of his main themes and purposes, but by now you probably are at least beginning to have some ideas about what they may be. Don't be hesitant to express those ideas; remember, they're tentative!


7. Read 1:1-4 slowly several times, preferably in several translations. What subject does Luke say he is writing about? (Think about what "the things that have been fulfilled [NASB: "accomplished"] among us" are.)

____________________________________________________

____________________________________________________

____________________________________________________


8. What does Luke identify as his purpose for writing his gospel (see 1:3-4)?

____________________________________________________

____________________________________________________

____________________________________________________


For Thought and Discussion: What is your own purpose for studying Luke's gospel? How does it compare with 1:4?


9. From what you know of Luke's gospel so far, try to summarize in your own words what you think is the purpose of this book.

____________________________________________________

____________________________________________________

10. What issues in your own life already have been raised by your quick reading of Luke? How are you planning to deal with these issues in the coming week?

Study Skill — Outlining the Purpose

An ordinary outline of Luke's gospel can help you find particular passages, but it tells you little of how the parts fit into Luke's overall message. One way to recall Luke's message at a glance is to outline the way each passage unfolds that message.

For instance, Luke's purpose is to set forth the good news about Jesus in an orderly manner so that the reader can respond to that news. A broad outline of the book that takes account of this purpose might begin like this:

1:1-4 Prologue: Luke states the purpose of his book.

1:5–2:52 Infancy: The Savior and His herald are born miraculously into our world, announced by angels and prophets. The Son of God becomes a son of Adam.

3:1–4:13 The Savior's herald introduces the good news about repentance and forgiveness. The Savior is declared Son of God and undergoes baptism and temptation as Son of Man — all in preparation to begin His mission.


Get a sheet of paper and begin your own outline of Luke's gospel that reflects his purpose and themes. You can make up your own summaries for 1:1–4:13 or copy these and begin your own outline with 4:14-44. Try to add a new entry as you complete each lesson.
