The Meaning of Luke in the Scriptures If I were fortunate enough to lecture to students on the Gospel of Luke, simply discussing the factual aspect of his writings would not do him justice, nor would to Jesus. In addition to being a great depiction of the life of Jesus from his conception to his resurrection, the Gospel of Luke teaches lessons that Jesus used through His teachings to better educate His followers on what it takes to be part of the end of the Kingdom of God. Such information would seemingly be too broad to include within the confines of one book, yet Luke masterfully combines all of these facts into a single story with numerous lessons, leaving it a difficult task for an educator to choose which aspects to cover. written by Luke, presents the Son of Man through a human form as Jesus. Jesus' life on Earth could be divided into three parts: the birth of Jesus, the preaching of Jesus, and the death and resurrection of Jesus. These three aspects of His life are the focal points of what modern theologians seem to focus on in their teaching, so it would be foolish for me to refrain from using them in my own. It must also be recognized that much of what Jesus endured throughout His life teaches a point, so after discussing the actual happenings of a particular event, it is necessary to discuss His intentions for us.

Because there is so much space in terms of stories and lessons, it is difficult to narrow down important points or focus on certain aspects. If I were an educator and were to teach this to students, as I just did, I would break down the life of Jesus into three parts: the birth of Jesus, the preaching of Jesus, and the death and resurrection of Jesus. I would like to touch on the topics I have already mentioned and reflect on the meaning of each.
