text it seemed good to me also to write that thou mightest know the certain ty of those things wherin thou hast been instructed luke 13 4 the lesson as a whole the third gospel might well be designated the evangel of the man christ jesus even as mat thew is that of king messiah mark that of the prophetservant and john that of the son of god become flesh luke was the chosen instru ment of the holy spirit to delineate the perfect ways of jesus as man here on earth for though he was as to the mystery of his glorious person god over all yet he stooped in grace to share our common humanity apart from sin in order that he might become the great peace offering through whose sacrifice men might he restored to fellowship with god and that on a higher plane than the fellowship adam enjoyed ere it was broken by sin the author of this gospel is the same as the writer of the rook of acts as a careful consideration of the opening verses of each of these books makes manifest they are in scribed to theophilus who was probably a governor of some pro vince under the roman authority as the title iyiost excellent sug gests luke we are told was a physician and was either a hellen- ized jew that is a jew living among the gentiles and bearing a greek name or else lie was a gentile who had been converted to christ pos sibly after becominy a jewish proselyte in colossians 4711 we have a list of pauls fellow labor ers who were of the circumcision that is jews and these seem to be distinguished from those mentioned in verses 12 to 14 where lukes name is found who were apparent ly gentiles after the flesh luke joined pauls company in troas acts 1610 and from that time on was intimately associated with him up to and during the time of his first imprisonment throughout the rest of the acts we can always trace his presence or absence by his use of the pronouns we and us and they and them it is of interest to note that it is the physician luke who gives us the fullest account of the virgin of our lord and his gospel abounds with intimate human touches de signed to throw into pold relief the true humanity of our saviour notice how frequently he presents jesus at dinner and listen carefully to his table talk luke 73650 103s4214 124 15 232 19- 110 22 1423 is there any place where a man shows his real charac ter more than at the table even so jesus opened his heart to his dis ciples and friends as they sat at meat in a way that exhibited him as man in all perfection this gospel is to be our subject for study for the next six months as we pursue the lessons may we all get a new conception of the man hood of our blessed lord verse by verse luke 11 many have taken in hand already there had appeared numerous records purporting to give the life story of jesus which have been lost to us perhaps both matthew and mark had already appeared and as tlieso were divine ly given they too have been pre served with luke and john which came later to give us a fourfold view of our lords life on earth in these records an orderly account had been given of those great facts upon which our christian faith rests verse 2 from the beginning that is as in johns writings 1 john 11 etc from the origin of the christian testimony god has given us through reputable eyewitnesses and ministers of the word a faithful account of those important events which mean so much for our hearts rest and con fidence verse 3 having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first it is clear that luke had made a very carefui indepen dent investlgaton as became a scientific man questioning eyewit nesses and visiting the localities where jesus had lived and wrought his works of power the facts thus gleaned he desired to lay before his friend the moat excellent theophilus as a result of which we have this precious portion of the word of god for the holy spirit used the pen of luke to give what would be of permanent value not only to theophilus but to all people to the end of time verse 4 the certainty of those things wherein thou hast been in structed the gospel rests upon these divinely accredited certain- tit it is not an imaginary system based upon weird and unproved le gends but a substantial and logical message resting upon an assured foundation of facts the gospels are true histories therefore the inci- no words can describe its beauty its charm its slow its tremendous appeal to the heart of man nothing like it has ever been seen before i so utterly different so refreshing so wonderful that you owe it to yourself not to let anything keep you away paythf thid weekend thursday friday 815 saturday matinee 230 evening 7 9 stanley theatre stouffville ontario dents they record actually occurred acts 11 all that jesus began both to do and teach in begin ning the narrative of the acts luke refers to his gospel as the former treatise and shows that there is an intimate connection between the miraculous birth the life death and resurrection of jesus christ and the coming of the holy spirit and his working in power through out all this dispensation of grace the one was but prelimiary to the other it was the sure foundation upon which the great superstruc ture of the church rests there is no accounting for the spirits work since the cross except that it result ed from what jesus did and taught col 414 luke the beloved physician and demas paul wrote solosians from prison at that time both luke aud demas were with him doubtless ministering to his needs as they had opportunity paul expresses his appreciation of the good doctor by his use of the word beloved 2 tim 411 only luke is with me some time had elapsed and paul was again in prison luke still remained his faithful friend and companion demas had given up the path of service and actuated by sel fish interest had left paul in the lurch and gone to thessalonlca v 10 but luke remained true to the end sharing the shame and rejec tion which fell to the lot of paul tho heart of the lesson as we study the gospel of luke we are impressed with the true humanity of our lord though he was as truly god as if he had never become man he was also as truly man as if he had never been god as man he entered sympath etically into all customary human experiences apart from sin he would not have been the perfect man if he had been a sinful man his very sinlessness enabled him to feel for us as nothing else could how precious to remember that he who created the universe took our humanity into union with his essential deity and that he remains six are injured in auto
