Book Report~Luke

Author: Luke
Time: 59-70 A.D.
Theme: Jesus the Savior of the World

Luke purposed to give '"an orderly account" " of all that Jesus began both to do and teach."'
Luke stressed that Jesus was not only the Jew's Messiah, but He was the Savior of the whole world.
Church tradition says that Luke was a physician and a close associate of Paul. It is thought that he also wrote the book of Acts.

One time I read through Luke and noted all the physician-type words he used.
Here are some:

orderly account
barren
birth
conceived
virgin
conceive in your womb
full time came for her to be delivered
circumcise
with child
brought forth her firstborn Son
days of her purification
infirmities
parlyzed
Those who are sick, need a physician...


Luke was obviously an intelligent man.
He believed in Jesus Christ and wanted all peoples-Greek, Jew, Samaritans, the rich, the poor, the outcasts, etc. ,
to believe in Him also, and to know Him as Savior, Messiah, and Lord.
