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.

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?
