AN EXPOSITION OF THE GOSPEL OF LUKE

The book of Luke begins with Good News of great joy about the coming of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, the Son of man and the Son of God. His coming changed believers' status from failure to success, sickness to health, guilt to forgiveness and from old life to new lifestyle. Jesus brought new Sabbath, new nation and new blessing. He displayed compassion in full. Many lessons about faith and His many-sided ministry express the volubility of the book.The book discusses the Christian duties in the world which amongst others include ambassadorial and neigbourhood responsibilities for Christ's sake. It further states the need for Christians to represent God well, to be their brethren's keepers, abhor hypocrisy, covetousness, worrying, carelessness and spiritual dullness. Believers are encouraged to turn to God irrespective of their situations in order to share in the joys of salvation.In Christianity what really matters are forgiveness, faithfulness, thankfulness and preparedness for God's Kingdom. These of course, are the main essence of Jesus' ministry on earth. His resurrection gives believers victory over spiritual and physical enemies and assurance of dine with Him in Heaven.
