LUKE AND HIS GOSPEL
LESSON TEXT Luke 1:1-4: Acts 1:1:
Colossians 4:14; n Timothy 4:11a.
GOLDEN TEXT It seemed good to
me also ... to writ . . . that thou
mlfhtMt know th certainty ot those
things, wherein thou bast been Instruct
d. Luke 1:3. 4.
Reading a book 1 privilege and
should b an Illuminating and stir
ring experience. What a pity that
o few read good book in our day!
To study a book ii a far more fruit
ful and interesting experience. Few
ar the books worthy of prolonged
and repeated study. Therein do we
And on of th great differences be
tween books of men and God's Book
the Bible. Again and again we
turn to its pages and find its truth
inexhaustible, ever interesting, in
forming, and soul-stirring in its
"beauty and power.
In rsading any book, w want to
know who wrota it, what kind of a
man h was, why h wrote, what he
wrote about, and what kind of a
book h wrote. W recognize that
th Holy Spirit is the real author of
th Word (II Tim. 3:16; II Pet.
1:21), but He chos and used human
writers. As w begin a six-month
study of th Gospel according to
Luke, w properly ask about both
th author and his writing.
I., The Writer Luke.
Our information regarding Luke is
found in th New Testament, in the
Introductory words of the books he
wrot (Luke and Acts) and In the
writing of his friend and co
worker, PauL There we learn of his
1. Nationality and Religion. His
nam. "Luk," is a contraction of
th Greek nam "Louklos" and,
sine w know from Colossians 4:11
and 14 that h was not "of the cir
cumcision," w know he was a Gen
til and evidently a Greek.. When,
where and by whom he was won to
Christ, w do not know. W do
know that this intelligent Greek,
versed in all th philosophies of the
perfection of personality, found in
Christ th fulfillment of all his de
sires and dreams.
1 Profession a Physician (Col. 4:
14. See also medical terms in all
bis writings). Luk wrot scholarly
Greek: he was familiar with th life
of a sailor (Acts 27); be joined with ,
his scientific accuracy an esthetic
culture often revealed in his writ
ings. :
J. His Friends. A man's friends
indicat his character. Luke bad
a close friend and possibly a patron,
"his excellency" Theophilus (Acta
1:1; Luk 1:3), evidently a man of
standing and ability. He was also a
close friend and fellow laborer with
perhaps th greatest man of all
time, Paul the apostle.
4. His Activities. Fellow mission
ary with Paul (Acts 18:11; 20:5, 8,
and elsewhere), physician, preacher
of the gospel, and author.
n. The Book the Gospel by Lake.
To hav written a book may be a
doubtful distinction, but to have
been used of th Holy Spirit to writ
such a book as this Gospel what an
honor and privilege! Following Dr.
G. Campbell Morgan, we note:
L lts Subject "Th Word" (Luke
1:2). H wrot about the perfect
personality of Jesus Christ, but he,
like John (John 1:14), recognized
that It was th divine and eternal
Word which became flesh in the per
fect humanity of Jesus Cttrlst
1 Its Sources. He doubtless read
what many had written (Luk 1:1).
He also talked with "eyewitnesses"
(Luke 1:2) and "ministers of the
word" who had known the Lord.
His sources were excellent and un
impeachable.
1 Its Method. He "traced the
course" (for so does the R. V. prop
erly translate Luk 1:3) of the ma
terial b gathered; that is, he did
original research and investigation,
always under the control and guid
ance of the Holy Spirit This result
ed In a placing of all things "in or
der." After gathering, sifting, in
vestigating, the Holy Spirit saw that
Luk put all things In proper order
(se I Cor. 14:33. 40).
4. Its Purpo. Luke wanted The
ophilus (and others who read his
Gospel) to know with "certainty"
(Luke 1:4) those things in which he
was already instructed by word of
mouth. Important matters must al
ways be written down, carefully and
in order. To pass things on by word
of mouth inevitably results in
change, conscious or unconscious.
So desperately vital a matter as
our eternal salvation calls for writ
ings, exact and complete. Luke,
who .bad a knowledge of all these
things, was moved by th Holy
Spirit to writ, and thus we hav
this 'glorious Gospel which we ar
to study from now until the end of
March, 1M1.
A closing word. A 12-page book
let Can America Be Saved? by th
writer of these notes, will be sent
fre on request. Us th address
above. A post card will do, but if
convenient enclose postage. Your
comments or suggestions regarding
th lessons will also b appreciated.
