Segment 21: God Seeks the Least, the Last, the Lost
Presenter: Fred B. Craddock
The Gospel of Luke presents Jesus as prophet, teacher, preacher, and healer
and records some of his stories that are preserved nowhere else. Luke
sets Jesus’ life within the Judaism of his day and states his mission in the
Old Testament terms of Isaiah. Luke chronicles Jesus’ prayer life; his calls
for justice, mercy, and fairness; his concern for the poor, the halt, the
lame, and the blind as Kingdom people; and his inclusion of women as
helpers and disciples alongside the men. According to Luke, the word
that the risen Christ wants preached to all people everywhere is both a
call for repentance and an offer of forgiveness.
