Luke #1: The Manifesto of the Messiah

This lesson introduces The Gospel of Luke and discusses its many special features: Unique parables and miracles and a particular interest in the intimate human connection that Jesus has with many. Key to Luke's Gospel is the use of Isaiah 61:1-3 as Jesus' ministry manifesto to preach the gospel to the poor, to bring liberty to captives, to give sight to the blind, and to give deliverance to the oppressed. Jesus’ mission in Luke is not, however, limited to meeting these physical needs, but, more importantly, their spiritual realities—sin, brokenness, spiritual blindness, and demonic possession.
