The Gospel of Luke is the first instalment of the 2-volume work of Luke-Acts. Luke’s account describes the good news in terms of God’s work in the person, live, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ. The second volume points to the power of the Gospel in forming a renewed people of God.
The primary purpose of Luke’s Gospel is to strengthen and confirm the faith to the early Christians. He writes so that Theophilus (and other readers) “may know the certainty of the things” that they have been taught (1:4). Our lessons will then focus on this strong apologetic tone, as we discover and unpack the exact “things” that require affirmation of faith.
