What happens when a wealthy benefactor funds a costly and lengthy investigation by an educated medical doctor and historian of the life of a man who claimed to be God? &lt;b&gt;The Gospel of Luke&lt;/b&gt;.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
In the opening lines of Luke&#8217;s gospel we are told that Luke is aware of other biographies written about Jesus Christ, but that he was compelled as a historian to have personally &#8220;investigated everything carefully&#8221; (NASB) so that there would be &#8220;an orderly account&#8221; (1:1&#8211;4).
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
For Luke to undertake his investigation, he needed to be financially freed up to spend perhaps a few years personally interviewing the eyewitnesses to the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Practically, this means that Luke personally interviewed Jesus&#8217; mother Mary, Jesus&#8217; brothers and sisters, any of Jesus&#8217; disciples who were living, Jesus&#8217; personal friends like Mary and Martha, and those who were among the crowds that were eyewitnesses to his preaching, miracles, and resurrection, along with individuals Jesus ministered to and healed.

      <name>Jesus The Prophet</name>
      <description>Jesus preaches in his hometown of Nazareth, but the people reject him. They would rather kill Jesus than kill their religion. He teaches from 1 Kings 17 (Elijah and a pagan widow) and 2 Kings 5 (Elisha and Naaman the leper) to show that even religious people are as needy as the starving widow and that their sin is as horrific as leprosy. We see in this passage at least eight ways we could be compelled to reject Jesus: theology, control, greed, selfishness, familiarity, comfort, embarrassment, and religion.

      <name>Jesus And The Holy Spirit</name>
      <description>Jesus was a world-class, Spirit-filled preacher of Scripture. At the beginning of his ministry, he traveled throughout the Galilean region, preaching in synagogues. When he preached in his hometown of Nazareth, he unrolled and read from the scroll of Isaiah; Jesus taught that he is the fulfillment of Scripture. He takes care of the poor, the captives, the blind, and the oppressed. Jesus is our riches, freedom, sight, and liberation.</description>

      <name>Jesus Without Sin</name>
      <description>Temptation is like bait on a hook. Satan will bait the hook with anything enticing enough to get you to bite, then he will reel you in to death. Jesus was tempted in every way by Satan, but never sinned. Jesus responded by quoting Scripture, that is, the sword of the Spirit, even after Satan tried to turn the sword against him. In light of Luke 4, Pastor Mark shares ten temptation truths to help us resist the bait: 

 # Satan is a real Enemy; 
 # Satan will H.I.T. you; 
 # Jesus is your victorious Warrior-King; 
 # The Holy Spirit is your power; 
 # Biblical truth is your counterpunch; 
 # Christ is your identity; 
 # Escape is always possible; 
 # Satan eventually taps out; 
 # Repent whenever you tap out and fight another round; and 
 # Life is a battle with many rounds.</description>

      <description>Jesus&#8217; genealogy shows us that God works faithfully from one generation to the next. God redeems messed up families and raises up new patriarchs and matriarchs to create new family lines because of his covenantal faithfulness to and love for ill-deserving people. Four covenant heads are mentioned in Jesus&#8217; genealogy from Luke: David, Abraham, Noah, and Adam. Each points to and foreshadows Jesus, but Jesus is greater than all four. If we are born again in Jesus, we are added to his family line as well.</description>

      <name>Jesus is God</name>
      <description>The crowds that came to John the Baptizer wondered if he was the Christ, but John humbly pointed to Jesus. John wanted all to realize that Jesus was greater than him, Jesus&#8217; baptism was greater than his, and Jesus&#8217; judgment was greater than his. In the end, Jesus will judge everyone, separating the wheat (those who repent and abide in him) from the chaff (those who do not and are blown away). John called even Herod to repent, and was imprisoned and beheaded as a result. Even though Jesus was sinless, he came down to be baptized by John, and the entire Trinity was present. The Holy Spirit descended like a dove and rested on Jesus, and the Father spoke from heaven, to reveal that Jesus is God: &#8220;You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.&#8221; All those in Christ are now God&#8217;s sons as well.</description>

&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
In the opening lines of Luke&#8217;s gospel we are told that Luke is aware of other biographies written about Jesus Christ, but that he was compelled as a historian to have personally &#8220;investigated everything carefully&#8221; (NASB) so that there would be &#8220;an orderly account&#8221; (1:1&#8211;4).
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
For Luke to undertake his investigation, he needed to be financially freed up to spend perhaps a few years personally interviewing the eyewitnesses to the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Practically, this means that Luke personally interviewed Jesus&#8217; mother Mary, Jesus&#8217; brothers and sisters, any of Jesus&#8217; disciples who were living, Jesus&#8217; personal friends like Mary and Martha, and those who were among the crowds that were eyewitnesses to his preaching, miracles, and resurrection, along with individuals Jesus ministered to and healed.

      <name>Repentance and Baptism</name>
      <description>Pastor Mark preaches from the Jordan River, where John the Baptizer baptized many, including Jesus Christ. John preached a baptism of repentance to the religious people who came to hear him, whom he called a &#8220;brood of vipers.&#8221; John urged them to live a life of true repentance instead, which includes conviction, confession, repentance, and restitution. Baptism shows that repentance is made possible through Jesus&#8212;his life, death, burial, and resurrection.</description>

      <name>Jesus and the Temple</name>
      <description>Pastor Mark preaches on the southern steps of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem&#8212;on the same steps that Jesus himself would have walked. Jesus was first brought up the steps by his parents to be dedicated in the temple; as a boy, Jesus debated with scholars at the temple, and as a man he taught day after day in the temple. Still, Jesus promised to destroy, and did destroy, the temple because it had become an idol. We do not need the temple today because Jesus has fulfilled all of its functions.</description>
