Lesson Overview

This lesson studies Jesus’ life as recorded in Luke and John. Their purpose, background, emphases, and audiences are explored. Similarities and differences between each writer’s record and the gospels are presented and explained to give you a fuller understanding of the incomprehensible Jesus.

Lesson Objectives

When you complete this lesson, you should be able to:

  • Discuss authorship, audience, dating, and purpose for writing Luke and John.
  • Name and explain the major themes and the outlines of Luke and John.
  • Explain how Luke and John each portray Jesus and why they did so.
  • State and describe differences between John’s gospel and the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke).
  • Gain greater appreciation for who Jesus Christ is.

Personal Reflection

As you proceed through this lesson have the following question in mind.
Cite several instances of Jesus’ treatment of outcasts as recorded in the Gospel of Luke. How do these accounts influence your thinking in how we should deal with outcasts today? What are some of the “outcast” groups in your culture?
