Lesson 2: Luke and John
Objective: to understand more deeply the ministry and person of Christ.
A. Luke (c. 1, 20-24)
- To whom was this gospel originally written? (1:1-4)
- What evidence indicates that this recipient had some prior instruction in Christianity?
- What was Luke’s objective in writing to Theophilus?
- What are some qualities of Jesus’ character that stand out prominently in c. 20-24?
- What are some character qualities of Jesus’ enemies that stand out prominently in these chapters?
- Why did people want to crucify Christ?
- How can we be assured that Jesus’ suffering and death occurred according to God’s plan, not just because of men’s evil hearts?
B. John (c. 13-14)
- Why did John bother to relate the various miracles found in his Gospel? (20:30-31)
- What climactic event did the most to confirm the disciples’ faith in Jesus as the Messiah?
- What attitude must you demonstrate if others are to realize that you are Christ’s representative in the world? (13:34-35)
- What is God’s provision for Christians to be true representatives of Christ in the world? (14:16-18)
- What conditions must you fulfill to fully experience this provision? (14:15, 21, 23-24)
Life Application
- Luke presented Christ as the Son of Man. What does that mean to you?
- In Jn. 15:16 and 15:27, what were the disciples to do after Jesus left earth? How does this apply to you, and what promises can you claim from these verses?
