will be convinced that intense joy must have
lled his heart as he laid down his pen on
completion of his writing task. Could any
book close on a more triumphant note?
K. OTHER PROMINENT SUBJECTS OF
LUKE
1. The work of Christ in redemption.
References to grace and the glad tidings
occur throughout the book. Christ is the
gracious Savior of mankind (19:10).
2. The work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy
Spirit is referred to more in Luke than in
Matthew and Mark combined. Read 1:15,
35, 41, 67; 2:25-26; 3:22; 4:1, 14, 18; 10:21;
24:49.
3. Christ’s ministry to Gentiles. For
example, read 2:32.
4. The needs of the humble estate.
Women, children, and outcasts appear often
in Luke’s story. For example, women are
mentioned in all but five of the chapters.
5. Various identi cations of Jesus. Near
each main junction of Luke’s gospel, shown
below, there is recorded an identi cation of
Jesus.
LUKE’S IDENTIFICATIONS OF JESUS
6. The Emmaus story (chap. 24).
7. The medical terms, and descriptions
with medical interest, which support
authorship by a physician.
8. Angels. Scroggie writes, “There are
more glimpses of the unseen world in this
than in any other Gospel. It resounds with
angel songs, and with the music of their
wings.”16
9. Short passages found only in Luke
include:
a.
Christ weeping over Jerusalem (19:4144; cf. 13:34-35)
b.
The sweat at Gethsemane (22:44)
c.
Mercy to the thief on the cross (23:4043).
10. The words of Christ are prominent in
Luke’s gospel. About half of the account’s
verses are Christ’s words (586 of 1,151
verses).
VI. KEY WORDS AND VERSES
A key verse for Luke is 19:10: “For the
Son of Man has come to seek and to save
that which was lost.” Other suggested key
verses are 24:19 and 4:18-19. A key phrase
is “Son of Man,” found twenty- ve times in
this gospel. It was Jesus’ favorite title for
Himself, used only by Him, with one
exception in the New Testament.17 What
key words did you observe in your survey
study?
