Gospel of Luke
At the begining of the book i got the impression that the writer had to of had some very good sources because of the fact he is one of the two gospel writers who had the infancy narritives in their gospel, which is interesting because the childhood of Jesus was very personal and very unpublic so this author had to dig deep to find the facts he did. I find it very interesting in chapter 2 when Simeon was telling what would become of Jesus' life that Mary and Joseph were suprised at what was said about him(2:33) it just seems odd that they would be suprised because Mary at least knew that Jesus was special since he was immacualty concieved and was announced by an angel of the Lord, so im not too sure what all that was about. In chapter 3 verses 7-9 John the Baptist speaks to the Pharisees and Saducees and calls them a brood of vipers. A priest's homily explained the term, brood of vipers, how it was their hole in the ground and nothing entered it for fear of being killed. By John comparing this to the Jews he was saying the word of God could never enter into their heads and they would never listen. I often
I enjoyed reading this book of the Bible very much and did enjoy the parables but I did fail to include them in the essay. How another denied even knowing him. Menke that John might of done this because of the fact that he wanted to know if his work for God was really done if he was to just "sit" this next inning of humanity out and he was also a little disappointed that Jesus didnt come to destroy the Romans and get rid of all the sinners. "Ask and you shall recieve, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened to you. To me this is the biggest proof that Jesus was truly God and truly man how his human nature allowed him to be tempted and how he was able to overcome it for the purpose of his life and as God he is sinless. I often think about that when I feel that I am suffering and then I look around and see how much worse other people have it and try to feel better that God gave me a light cross to carry in compairson to all the other people around me. Now don't get me wrong but if John had baptised Jesus and the clouds opened up and a dove came out of heaven and a voice came out of the sky saying "This is my son with whom I am well pleased," he shouldnt have to ask if Jesus is the messiah. In chapter 7 verses 1-10 Jesus was confronted by a centurian who had a very ill slave who he valued very much. Rather try, really try to live out Jesus' teachings all the time. In chapter 7 verses 13-23 John the Baptist who was in prision sent his followers to ask Jesus if he was the one to come or should they wait for another. Could one really blame them they all watched him grow up and knew all about him(or so they thought) they thought that all he would ever be was a carpenter and nothing else. Now Jesus cant even sleep without people trying to get his help. That just proves to me that faith in Jesus can do all, Jesus knows when we have great faith in him and when we pray to him he knows how sinceir our faith really is he knows all and will grant all if asked with a faithful heart. "Love your enemies do good to those who hate you.
