Say Hello to My Friend Luke
Luke 1:1–4
ICC’s Wednesday In the Word (1/17/22)
I. Introduction
1. Prayers
2. Scripture memory
Romans 8:1- There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
3. Catch- Which human author do you think wrote the most in the NT?
i.
We know God did, but which human?
1. Clearly Luke and Acts dwarf the rest in their word count
2. Luke wrote 2,138 verses; Paul wrote 2,033[i] Johannine writings have 1,407[ii]
3.
This is 27.1 percent of the NT
ii.
There are 4 different gospels according to ______
1. Same good news, but different eye witness testimony
iii.
What is your favorite gospel and why?
1. RC Sproul wrote that Luke was his favorite
2. I’ve always said John because of the upper room discourse, but the history of Luke has been winning me over
4. Review on the context
i. Let’s review Israel’s goal- build it and they will come, right?
1.
Who was supposed to come?
How did that go?
2. We’ll see that Luke was a Gentile and he focuses on how the gentiles come to Jesus
3. Solomon came close, but failed to keep gentiles,
luke-acts shows how Jesus succeded
ii.
Israel was a come and see
1.
And all of Luke happens in the small nation of Israel
2. This small nation that barely makes up a part of California
3.
But Acts ends with the gospel going all over the world..
iii.
So, Luke is showing how Jesus answers many of the roles the king of Israel was supposed to have
So, let’s learn about luke together and see
II.
The 5 W’s of what Luke Offers
1. Who is The author? (title)
i. Explanation
1.
Does the author say his name?
a.
But does he introduce himself?
b.
V3 he says “me”
c.
None of the other gospels are this personal in their introducitons
Matthew 1:1- The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Mark 1:1- The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
John 1:1- In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2. But the title, the gospel according to Luke is very early in tradition
a. WE know for sure that he wasn’t an eyewitness of Jesus, and since acts has the same introduction we know he wrote that too
Acts 1:1- In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach,
b.
And he must have been a companion with Paul since he writes
Acts 16:10- And when Paul had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go on into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
c.
We are able determine that since the writer of acts was with Paul during his first romans imprisonment , he must be mentiond in this letter
d. &The Apostle Paul referred to Luke as a physician (Col.
4:14).
e.
And his work matches someone of great learning since he claims to have done extensive interview, research, and coordinating of the information
f.
So, the tradition matches the evidence
3. Luke was Luke was a Gentile.
The Apostle Paul seems to confirm this, distinguishing Luke from those who were “of the circumcision” (Col.
4:11, 14)… the only one to write scripture[iii]
4.
And luke was a loyal friend as Paul made clear
2 Timothy 4:11- Luke alone is with me.
Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is very useful to me for ministry
a.
What does this tell us about the kind of person Luke was?
ii.
Illustration
1.
We are pretty sure it is Luke, and he does his best to present his trustworthiness to us
2. It ls like when you watch a historian channel and you’re told toy expert
a. Might not give you great confidence
3.
But Luke does more than that
iii.
Application
1.
How does Luke give us confidence for what he is writing?
2. Why should we trust this book’s explanation of Jesus?
Not just
2. When?
After other gospels (1-2)
i. Explanation
1.
What does Luke say about what other eye witnesses and the ministers have done?
2. So, we know this was written later
a. Probably A.D. 60–62[iv]
b.
THe book of Acts ends while Paul is in Rome
c. Luke records Jesus’ prophecy of the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 (19:42–44; 21:20–24) but makes no mention of the fulfillment of that prophecy
d.
He points out areas where prophecy comes through (ie: Acts 11:28 where th propehts speak)
e.
So, if they were not written at the exact same time, probably Date: c. A.D. 58-63
3.
But he still decides to write a another one
4.
Why would it not be enough to have only one biography of Jesus?
a.
I read one anaology that said we see depth in creation around us because we have two eyes and a brain that puts the two images together.
Thus we see in three dimensions!
The Gospels reveal Jesus not from three, but four viewpoints[v]
