2 | WHAT IS THE CENTRAL THEME OF LUKE? | NT general Archive 1 | Robert Nicholson | 74135 | ||
Greetings Godlyman: I believe the theme in all 4 gospels is our Lord Jesus Christ. In each book he is seen from different perspectives. Matt. 1:1 "The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham" In this verse we see that Christ is joined to the covenant of Kingship with David and with promise through Abraham. Thus in Matt. we are viewing the Lord Jesus as King. In the Gospel of Mark we have no genealogy since we are seeing the Lord Jesus as the perfect Servant. As the lowly sevant there is no need for genealogy. Mark 10:45 is suggested as the key verse "For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister" In Luke we see that the genealogy of the Lord Jesus is traced back to Adam through his mother. In Luke we see the perfect man as we read of him as the Son of man. "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost" Luke 19:10. Through the eyes of doctor Luke we see things which demonstrate his humanity. In the Gospel we see our Lord Jesus presented as the Eternal Son of God in John 1. There is no genealogy here since he is without beginning or end, he is God manifest in the flesh. "These things are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name" Thus we see Jesus as the King in Matt, the perfect Servant in Mark, the perfect man in Luke and the Son of God in John.
