transform my walk. It should make me more like Him.

The Aspects Characteristic of Luke
• The Remnant that Awaited Him
• The Record of His Birth
• The Rejection He Felt
• The Refuse of Society He Saved (Publicans, Prostitutes, Prisoners)
• The Relationships into Which He Brings (Sons in the Family – ch.15, Stewards in the
House – ch.16, Servants in the Work – ch.17:7-10, Supplicants Before the Judge – ch.18,
Subjects and Their King – ch.19)
• The Revelation of Eternity He Gave (chs.13,16)
• The Rich Men (Four)
• The Redeemer of Widows (Five Widows noted)
• The Record of Songs (1:42,46,68; 2:10)
• The Receiver of Worship (2:15,25; 17:11-19; 24:52)
• The Recliner at Tables (Seven times)
The Arrangement of Material

• It is vital to see that Luke’s “order” (1:3) is not chronological but moral. He groups
events to teach lessons.
• The perfect Manhood of the Lord Jesus is seen. Aspects of both the meal offering
and peace offering can be traced in the Gospel.
• Matthew introduces subjects with the adverb “then.” Mark connects with the con-
junction “and.” Luke resorts to “now” and “it came to pass.”
• Luke begins with a man in the temple and the people outside praying. It ends with
a glorified Man in heaven and the people praising God. It begins with a journey of two
who supposed Him to be in the company, and ends with two journeying who did not
know He was with them.
