Following Jesus: A 30-Day Journey Through the Gospel of Luke

📝 Introduction

The Gospel of Luke stands as one of the most detailed, compassionate, and historically grounded accounts of Jesus’ life, ministry, death, and resurrection. Written by Luke, a physician and companion of the Apostle Paul, this Gospel was addressed to a man named Theophilus and crafted with the purpose of giving readers certainty about the things they had been taught concerning Christ (Luke 1:4).

Luke was not an eyewitness to Jesus’ ministry, but he carefully investigated everything, gathering firsthand accounts from those who were. His Gospel emphasizes Jesus' humanity, showing Him as the Savior who came for all people—Jews and Gentiles, rich and poor, men and women, insiders and outsiders.

One of Luke’s most powerful contributions is his emphasis on the compassion and mercy of Jesus. Luke includes stories found nowhere else—such as the Parable of the Good Samaritan and the story of the Prodigal Son—that reveal the heart of a Savior who came to seek and save the lost. You’ll also notice Luke’s unique focus on prayer, the role of the Holy Spirit, and the inclusion of women as key figures in God’s unfolding redemption.
