Luke 1-12. --; volume 2 13-24; 2 N2 - Written after Jesus' early ministry had come to an end, when word of his teachings and actions had spread to those who had never seen him firsthand, Luke is the "Gospel of Knowing for Sure." Luke tells us that he wanted to provide an orderly account of the life of Jesus that would help people be more certain of the good news of his death and resurrection. The purpose of this commentary is to make Luke's message clear for a contemporary audience by explaining, illustrating, and applying its truth to everyday life, with the hope that readers will understand the gospel and come to full assurance of salvation, as Luke intended. If an account of Jesus' life was needed in Luke's time, how much more acutely is it needed in ours ER -
