The Gospel of Luke like the other three Gospels depicts the life‚ teachings‚ death and the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. This is the largest of the four Gospels. The Gospel opens with a salutation to Theophilus and proceeds to tell the story of the appearance of Angel Gabriel to Zachariah‚ whose wife Elizabeth did not have the ability to bear a child.

The Life of Jesus Christ The story of Jesus begins even before he was born. We may think how can this be‚ but it’s true and John the fisherman‚ a disciple of Jesus‚ puts it this way: ‘In the very beginning‚ before anything else existed‚ the Word (Jesus) existed. The Word was with God and the Word was God.’ Mankind had forgotten the existence of God completely and had sinned beyond pardoning. Therefore‚ God sent His son Jesus Christ into the world to remind us that there is God‚ to set aside

they form the principal source of knowledge of the life of the Lord Jesus. The word ’gospel’ means good news and the use of the term for a written report about Jesus goes back to the first- or second-generation Christians. It does not so much indicate a literary genre but characterises the contents of the book: good news about Jesus Christ. The gospel describes the good news of how God has realized salvation in and through Jesus Christ. A matter that is discussed time and again in synoptic studies

The book of Luke contains numerous amounts of parables which are concentrated in chapter 10 to chapter 16. Some bluntly shows that they are parables‚ but some are hidden among the passages. Through examination of Luke chapter 10-16‚ there are many concepts the parables are common in. The greatest common similarity the parables have is the narration of Jesus‚ stories composed with metaphor‚ and the reason why Jesus tells the stories. Almost every parable starts with narration of Jesus. The book of

Leadership of Jesus The question of whether leaders are born or can be taught is one that is common in leadership discussions. My personal opinion is that leaders can be taught‚ and should be taught by studying the principles and practices by which our history’s most effective leaders led. Furthermore; it is important to realize that leadership through hierarchies is quickly becoming inferior to leadership through service and having a joint vision shared by all those affected by this leader. Jesus was such

home‚ and public have been debated over many centuries. However‚ Jesus does not exclude women from the Kingdom of God because he refers to them as “sisters” and includes them in his non-biological family and allows them the same opportunities of salvation that men have. It is more often emphasized in the Gospel of Luke that the role of women was very prominent within Jesus’s life‚ but that does not exclude the Gospels of Matthew‚ Mark‚ and John from having significant roles filled by women.
