Luke final words

• Why four gospel accounts?
• Why did Luke write it?
• What were some of the differences?
• What is unique about the book of Luke?
  • Matthew - Jesus the King
  • Mark - Jesus the servant
    • Written more for Gentiles; explains Jewish traditions.
    • Emphasis was on Jesus’ actions more than His words
  • John - Jesus the Son of God
    • Emphasis was on the deity of Christ. John 20:30-31
  • Luke
    • An “orderly” account, designed for a Gentile audience.
    • Theophilus was likely a Roman Gentile
    • Gives most complete record fo young Jesus.
