JESUS JESUS THROUGH THROUGH THE LENS OF THE LENS OF LUKELUKE(THE REDEEMER (THE REDEEMER OF LITTLE OF LITTLE PEOPLE)PEOPLE)--Luke 1: 1-4--Luke 1: 1-4
Luke 1:1-4 (TNIV)
1 Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, 2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. 3 With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.

I can see clearly now; Jesus reaches out to all of us.
Only through Jesus do the walls come tumbling down.
Talk about compassion: Jesus was ‘love in shoes’.

DOCTOR LUKE SEES JESUS WITH UNIVERSAL EYES (The only non-Jewish writer of the New Testament)
Little emphasis on Jesus’ roots
Jesus’ heroes are down and outers, back-sliders, half-breeds, foreigners and such.
Women, the poor, lepers and other bottom rung people were noticed, helped and honored.
THIS IS A SCHOLARLY PIECE OF ART
Luke’s Greek is impeccable
He clearly puts Jesus in the context of history and the Roman Empire
Yet this is the most easily read of the 4 Gospels
WATCH AS LUKE CAREFULLY RECORDS THE POTENT DETAILS OF JESUS EVERYDAY LIFE
Jesus mighty prayer life
His inclusion of all kinds of people, even pointing to unlikely folk as models of faith and action
Hear the music of this letter --the joy melody of praise and joy
See how Jesus made much time for the poor and the underdog
I believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God.
I trust Him as my Lord and Savior.C
