New Testament Episode 4: The Gospel of Luke

Episode 4: The Gospel According to St. Luke
 
Welcome to this episode of Teens Read the Book, where teenage voices read sacred scripture for you. I’m today’s host, Anna, coming to you from the beautiful state of Idaho. In this episode, 24 readers from England, France, and different parts of the U.S. will bring you the Gospel According to St. Luke in the New Testament.

Known as the “beloved physician” (Colossians 4:14), Luke was not one of the original twelve disciples. Yet he still became one of the Lord’s most important messengers by writing his Gospel, and the Acts of the Apostles. He was a missionary companion of Paul who probably joined the church after Christ’s Resurrection and Ascension. Because he never claimed to have observed Christ’s life first-hand, Luke was one who, like ourselves, had to gain his understanding from others who were “eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word” (Luke 1:2).

The Gospel of Luke is the last of the synoptic gospels, after Matthew and Mark. Some of the most beautiful details we have about the Lord’s life are recorded only by Luke, including Gabriel’s visits to Zacharias and Mary in Chapter 1, the visit of the shepherds in Luke 2, Jesus at the temple at age 12, Jesus sweating blood in the Garden of Gethsemane, his discussion with the thief on the cross, and his eating fish and honey after His resurrection. In these accounts by Luke, you’ll find a careful storyteller who meticulously recounts Christ’s ministry in faith-building ways. Luke shows us a Christ who is compassionate to the downtrodden, kind to the outcast, and inclusive of women. We see a Savior who offers hope and redemption to all of us.

Join us as we journey through the Gospel According to St. Luke – timeless words that have inspired and uplifted believers for thousands of years.
