Luke/Acts

LUKE/ACTS

I had never really looked at Gospel of Luke and the book of Acts being compared before. I guess I never realized that Acts was written by Luke, and didn’t realize how close Apostle Paul and Luke were.  It was a very good reading assignment. I think the part that I got out of it the most was toward the end of the reading speaking about the different themes in Acts. And one of the easiest themes to overlook is the vital theme of the Word of God. Preaching the Word is what the Apostles did wherever they went. Receiving the Word of God referred to someone being saved. “For Luke the Word of God is especially the message about God’s gracious redemption through Jesus Christ.” One of the main points throughout all the book of Luke is the preaching of the Gospel, and only through that preaching can real spiritual transformation take place. We can’t lose sight of the importance of preaching the full Gospel of Christ because IT IS the power of God to salvation. I’m excited about these classes mainly because they will give me a clearer and fuller picture of the Gospel, so I can preach soundly and clearly the message of Jesus accurately how scripture intended.
