Several have pointed out that the author refers himself as ‘we’ in Acts 16:10-17; 20:5-21:18; 27-28:16Are you a Theophilis – friend of God?c) We may see persecution as did they.d) Think about the news in India – they wanted to kill Christians (their assumption ofAmerica and England) and Jews!e) Remember (for today) – Rom 3:23; 6:23; 10:9-10He gave instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles He had chosen – 1:2The proofs about Christ – Acts 1:3f) He proved that He was alive over a period of 40 daysg) He taught them about the kingdom of God – this has the special place of the earthlyprogramHere is an amazing quote from a Catholic Priest in Australia 2 Unless you believe theBible, you can come up with anything! This man is still a priest!Jesus Christ was not God, and Mary was not a virgin, according to a controversial new book writtenby an Australian Catholic priest.In the booklet, ‘God is Big. Real Big’, which has gone on sale for $20 in several churches, Bathurstpriest Peter Dresser argues Jesus could not have been God.“This whole matter regarding Jesus being God ... not only does violence to my own intelligence, butmust be a sticking point,” he says.“For millions of people trying to make some kind of sense of the Christian religion ... No human beingcan ever be God, and Jesus was a human being. It is as simple as that.”Father Dresser claims Joseph was Jesus’s father, Mary was not a virgin – and actually had sixchildren – and that the story of the resurrection should not be taken literally.The booklet has angered conservative Catholics, such as Sydney priest Anthony Robbie.“What a breathtaking know-all, to claim he knows the mind of Christ contrary to scripture andtradition. His words rob Christianity entirely of its meaning and purpose,” Father Robbie told NewsLtd.B. Luke – two sketchesWho was Luke? 3 This author believes it was a legal brief in defense of PaulThe Gospel of Luke began as a legal brief to a Roman official, Theophilus. Many believe that it was intendedto bolster the defense of Paul in a trial to be brought before Emperor Nero himself. For this reason, beyondtelling the story of Christ, the Gospel of Luke stresses that Jesus had been acquited by Roman Authorities(specifically Pontius Pilot) of any political crimes.Luke was a doctor Paul probably met in Phillipi. Luke and Mark were followers of Paul and worked closely inhelping to spread the gospel. When Paul was imprisoned in Rome, Luke took it upon himself to spend twoyears researching the life of Christ and the acts of the early apostles (he is also the assumed author of Acts).After the trial and martyrdom of Paul, Luke revised the legal brief incorporating work from Matthew and thesayings of Jesus. He wanted to create a record of the life of Christ and of the history of the early church.Interestingly the Gospel of Luke contains stories found nowhere else in the bible; the story of Zachariah'svision that presaged the coming of John the Babtist, the story of the angels and shepherds at the birth ofJesus, Jesus in the Temple when he was a child, as well as the parables of the Lost Son and the GoodSamaritan. There is much that is original in Luke and much food for contemplation and meditation.The Gospel of Luke is also famous for its emphasis on the role of women in the ministry of Jesus. So it mightbe a good gospel for study by women's groups.2 http://www.livenews.com.au/Articles/2008/10/29/Jesus_was_not_God_priest_sparks_Catholic_controversy3 From http://www.biblestudyinfo.com/luke.shtmlActs Page 4 January 23, 2011 18:07
Since it was originally written as a Legal brief, this gospel takes some pains to present the historical case forChrist, it is an excellent study for for those seeking the human as well as spiritual side of Christ.Another picture of Luke 4Luke(light-giving), or Lu'cas, is an abbreviated form of Lucanus. It is not to be confounded with Lucius, Ac13:1; Ro 16:21 which belongs to a different person. The name Luke occurs three times in the New Testament--Col 4:14; 2Ti 4:11; Phle 1:24--and probably in all three the third evangelist is the person spoken of. Combining the traditional element withthe scriptural we are able to trace the following dim outline of the evangelist's life. He was born at Antioch inSyria, and was taught the science of medicine. The well known tradition that Luke was also a painter, and ofno mean skill, rests on the authority of late writers. He was not born a Jew, for he is not reckoned among those"of the circumcision" by St. Paul. Comp. Col 4:11 with ver. 14. The date of his conversion is uncertain. Hejoined St. Paul at Troas, and shared his Journey into Macedonia. The sudden transition to the first personplural in Ac 16:9 is most naturally explained after all the objections that have been urged, by supposing thatLuke the writer of the Acts, formed one of St. Paul's company from this point. As far as Philippi the evangelistjourneyed with the apostle. The resumption of the third person on Paul's departure from that place, Ac 17:1would show that Luke was now left behind. During the rest of St. Paul's second missionary journey we hear ofLuke no more; but on the third journey the same indication reminds us that Luke is again of the company, Ac20:5 having joined it apparently at Philippi, where he had been left. With the apostle he passed throughMiletus, Tyre and Caesarea to Jerusalem. ch. Acts 20:6; 21:18As to his age and death there is the utmost uncertainty. He probably died a martyr, between A.D. 75 andA.D. 100. He wrote the Gospel that bears his name, and also the book of Acts.C. The importance of Jerusalem to the twelve -- Acts 1:4-11They are told not to leave Jerusalem but wait! – Acts 1:4They had had water baptism but are told to wait for the Spirit baptism in a few days – Acts1:5The unanswered Question – Acts 1:6-7a) Teachers usually want to give answers to questions if they knew them!b) Christ refused to answer their question – Acts 1:6a. Christ clearly knew the answer – the kingdom was not going tobegin for a long time.b. So why didn’t he give it – because it was not for them to know!!c) Christ knew the answer but told them that they were not going to get this answer atthis time. – Acts 1:7c. ‘knows’ in Matthew NIV(Mat 6:8) Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.(Mat 6:32) For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.(Mat 9:30) and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, "See that no one knows about this."(Mat 11:27) "All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father,and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.(Mat 24:36) "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only theFather.d. There was something in Matt 24:36 that the Son did not know – onlythe Father!Mat 24:36 – BarnesBut of that day and hour - Of the precise time of the fulfillment. The “general signs” of its approach have beengiven, as the budding of the fig-tree is a certain indication that summer is near; but “the precise time” is notindicated by these things. One part of their inquiry was Mat_24:3 when those things should be. He now repliesto them by saying that the precise time would not be foretold.
