Unit 19 Session 2
THE SAVIOR IS PRESENTED
LUKE 2
Even from childhood, Jesus fulfilled all of the law, showing that He is the Messiah, the righteous One who came to bring salvation to the world.
The Gospel writers spent almost no time covering the details of Jesus's life following His birth up until the time He began His public ministry around the age of 30. Their main focus was the three years of Jesus's ministry in and around Jerusalem proclaiming the kingdom of God and, uniquely, His death, burial, and resurrection. Mark started his gospel with Jesus's ministry and spent roughly half of the total time of his writing describing the final weeks of Jesus's life. In Luke's gospel, however, we are given one of the few glimpses into Jesus's early years to reveal His perfect character.
Points to consider:
✞ The Messiah will fulfill the law entirely.
* What benefits might we discover in
dwelling upon Jesus's humanity?
✞ The Messiah will bring salvation globally.
* What are some ways we should respond
to the good news of salvation?
* What do we learn about God when we
see Him keep His promises?
✞ The Messiah will obey the Father completely.
* What character traits are demonstrated by
Jesus's listening to and asking questions in
the temple?
* How should we reconcile our obedience to
God and our expected obedience to human
authorities?
