Luke Getting Started

Getting Started… 

“Having carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I also have decided to write an accurate account for you,” With these words, the physician Luke begins his own account of some very remarkable events. Drawing upon many eyewitness testimonies, Luke sets out the history of the Messiah Jesus Christ for one simple reason: so we “can be certain of the truth.” 

In this verse-by-verse study we’ll begin our look at Luke’s Gospel and the extraordinary life of Jesus. From Jesus’ miraculous, yet humble birth, to His testing in the wilderness and the beginning of His ministry, we’ll examine the life of Christ alongside the good physician Luke. 

In these chapters we’ll see the beginning of the fulfilment of the promise God made long ago: to provide a rescue for sin, and an example for us all to follow. In Part 1 of this study we’ll cover in detail the first 7 chapters of the Gospel of Luke. Watch for Part 2 coming soon.
