Top Highlights

“The purpose of the book may be expressed like this: To trace the rapid growth of Jacob’s descendants from Egypt to the establishment of the theocratic nation in their Promised Land.” (Pages 21–22)

“His purpose is clear: to demonstrate that Jesus is the Jewish nation’s long-awaited Messiah.” (Page 304)

“That would make Luke the only Gentile to pen any books of Scripture.” (Page 327)

“Leviticus in turn was God’s instruction for His newly redeemed people, teaching them how to worship and obey Him.” (Page 29)

“Starting with 9:51, Luke devoted ten chapters of his narrative to a travelogue of Jesus’ final journey to Jerusalem. Much of the material in this section is unique to Luke. This is the heart of Luke’s gospel, and it features a theme Luke stressed throughout: Jesus’ relentless progression toward the cross. This was the very purpose for which Christ had come to earth (cf. 9:22, 23; 17:25; 18:31–33; 24:25, 26, 46), and He would not be deterred. The saving of sinners was His whole mission (19:10).” (Page 331)
