Overview

If someone comes along and says, “I’m going to tell you the story of Jesus,” the first question that comes up is, “Where did you get your information? How do we know it’s reliable?”

In our society, there’s a premise that the accounts in the Bible about Jesus’ life are not reliable, are basically legends. But Luke immediately confronts this premise in a remarkable way. He’s writing to cultured, educated readers, and he deals with what the average educated person questions.

Luke says, “I’m going to tell you the true story of Jesus.” And in that, are three points: 1) the gospel is about Jesus, 2) the gospel is true, and 3) the gospel is a story.
