His Mission: Jesus in the Gospel of Luke
Overview
In this collection of biblical expositions, eight prominent Bible teachers look to the Gospel of Luke and its unique portrait of our Savior, exploring everything from the nature of Jesus’s divine sonship to his rejection by the religious and political rulers of his day. With contributions from D.A. Carson, Tim Keller, John Piper, and others, this book will help you grasp the overarching message of the book of Luke: the blameless life, atoning death, and vindicating resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Chapters include:
- John Piper—Jesus the Son of God, the Son of Mary (Luke 1–2)
- Colin Smith—Jesus Despised (Luke 4:14–30)
- Crawford Loritts—Jesus’s Transforming Power on Behalf of the Afflicted (Luke 8:26–56)
- D. A. Carson—Jesus’s Resolve to Head toward Jerusalem (Luke 9:18–62)
- Kevin DeYoung—Jesus and the Lost (Luke 15:1–32)

- Gary Millar—Jesus Betrayed and Crucified (Luke 22:3–23:49)
- Tim Keller—Jesus Vindicated (Luke 24:1–53)
Top Highlights
“Who is the ultimate good Samaritan who comes to broken people, who, if left alone, will certainly die? Who binds up their wounds, saves their lives, and frees them forever from slavery, paying for all of it? You simply cannot fail to see that the ultimate good Samaritan is this Jesus who is on the way to Jerusalem—precisely because he is on the way to Jerusalem.” (Page 65)
“Jesus brings about a new exodus: an exodus out of sin that is the fulfillment of that earlier exodus out of slavery” (Page 52)
“Why not? Because he is resolved to go to Jerusalem, where he will die on the cross for sinners. In his own day, he is the perpetually misunderstood Messiah.” (Page 59)
“Your identity is not bound up with your ministry; it is bound up with your election: ‘Your names are written in heaven.’” (Page 61)
“What the crowds understand by this word is so bound up with triumphalism, sovereignty, and reign without the cross” (Page 51)
