Rel. 2040 November 14‚ 2012 “The Gospel of Luke RP” Knowledge was power back around 80-90 ce when Luke was written. Some say knowledge is power in this day and age‚ but don’t forget about it’s who you know as well. How do you define what power is? Well‚ Luke was a physician‚ able to speak the Greek language efficiently and effectively‚ and his vocabulary was as deep as an officers’ on a submarine.

The introduction of this Gospel shows many significant things. One of the main significant things that I noticed was that Jesus is introduced as the Son of God. The Son of God who was sent to rescue all of us from sin by serving and most importantly‚ He sacrifice his life for us. In the introduction‚ it told us every single thing that Jesus did when He was on Earth. In a way‚ it told us everything from his birth from Mary’s womb to the time He was crucified‚ dying for our sins to open the door from

Gospel of Mark The Gospel According to Mark‚ one of the four Gospels in the New Testament which talk about the life of Jesus Christ‚ contains some of the heaviest usage of figurative language in the Bible.

What are some ways the Christian gospel is perceived in our culture? The Christian gospel is perceived in today’s culture as offensive and exclusive instead of the inclusive gospel that it is because of the sin nature of man.
