Luke was a Greek physician and missionary companion of Paul. He uses this book along with Acts to prime a new Christian named Theophilus. Luke stresses the humanity of Jesus as the one who understands peoples weaknesses and cares for their needs. Luke’s interest in historical accuracy leads him, under divine inspiration, to research and record the details of Jesus’s life. Including His ancestry, social contacts, and life of prayer and compassion. This book really explores John and Jesus’s life and their families. To me it makes it more personal as we dive into the family dynamic.
