Luke, the beloved physician, authored this Gospel in the
New Testament of the Bible around 4 B.C. to A.D. 33. It
is the longest of the gospel with 24 chapters which
moves through the ancestry, birth and early life of
Jesus Christ all the way to His death and resurrection.
Luke was not only a physician (a man of science) but he
was also a Greek (a man of detail). He was a close
friend and traveling companion of Paul. The Book of Acts
starts where the Book of Luke leaves off. Luke never met
Jesus but chose to follow Him and to learn all that he
could about Him. The account of the Ascension is given
in great detail by Luke. One-third of the book of Luke
is unique compared to the other three gospels. Luke is
the only gospel that writes to an individual, Theophilus.
The main thing one can learn by reading the Gospel of
Luke is that Jesus is the Messiah. Forgiveness of sin
can be obtained only through Jesus Christ and He is the
only way to gain salvation(eternal life).
