Luke turns to a third section in his gospel and begins to focus in on the commitment of Jesus to go to Jerusalem and fulfill his purpose as a sacrifice for the sins of mankind. The commitment of Jesus to the mission of redemption and the will of the Father functions as an example of the commitment genuine followers should have to God. Luke demonstrates this in the following verses, as we see Jesus interacting with three different individuals who vow to follow or are called to follow. What is your level of commitment to Jesus?
Luke writes to strengthen believers, to address misperceptions of unbelievers, while emphasizing the divine and perfect human aspects of Jesus’ life! Jesus alone is the Lord and Redeemer of all humanity! He offers us the assurance that God is at work, accomplishing his purposes, that Jesus is God incarnate and that true followers of Jesus are in reality the people of God, that the Holy Spirit is essential for our every response and action and that no matter who you are or where you’re from Jesus died to rescue you! Jesus is the fulfillment of all the promises of God and though every promise is not yet realized, we can be certain that one day they will be! Luke writes to give certainty and assurance to believers – you can be certain that everything about Jesus is true!
