This message introduces a new series on the Gospel of Luke. The first four verses introduce the book. Although the author does not self-identify, tradition assigns the book to Luke, who also wrote the Acts of the Apostles. Luke was a Gentile who came to Christ probably through the preaching of Christians scattered by the persecution of Steven (Acts 7). These Christan went as far as Antioch of Syria, Lukes home. There are a number of internal proofs that demonstrate Lukes' being a Gentile. He was also a companion to Paul, even in Rome prior to Paul's execution (2 Timothy 4:11). Luke has the most complete account of Jesus' pre-ministry background. Luke also stresses Jesus' introduction of the Kingdom of God. There are 46 direct references to the Kingdom in Lukes' Gospel. Luke only has Jesus' saying, "Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom" (12:32).
