The Book of Luke is one of the four Gospels and tells the story of Jesus’ life, ministry, death, and resurrection. Written by Luke, a companion of Paul, it begins with angel visits announcing the births of John the Baptist and Jesus, and continues all the way to Jesus rising from the dead and ascending into heaven. Luke shows us that Jesus came as the fulfillment of God’s promises and that He is the Savior not just for Israel, but for all people. Luke’s Gospel highlights Jesus’ compassion—how He welcomes outsiders, cares for the poor, heals the sick, and teaches through powerful parables like the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son.
These devotionals from Luke will help you discover Jesus’ heart for the lost, the hurting, and the outsider, and invite you to experience the life-changing Good News He brings to everyone.
