Luke 1 -24

So far I think Luke has been my favorite Gospel. It is very “humane” and I liked Luke as a person because he has a lot of Jesus characteristics, he also wants to be more like him. For example he gets along very well with women and treats them like they deserve, he doesn’t like rich people, and instead he gets along better with humble people.

Something I really liked about the gospel of Luke was chapter 15. In this chapter they mention that a sheep, a coin, and a boy get lost. But after they all return where they belong to. By telling these three stories Luke represents that God will always watch out for lost people. People who might think that they are forgotten, but the fact is that god is always by their side. I also liked this part of the gospel because it teaches us that even though we might feel lost god will always take care of us and lead us thought the correct way.

What I thought was very interesting about Luke was that at the beginning a lot of new characters that are not mentioned in the other Gospels are introduced. They mention a story that I had never heard before! It tells that the parents of John the Baptist (Zechariah and Elizabeth are told by angel Gabriel that Elizabeth is pregnant. Then angel Gabriel appears to Mary, who is her relative and tells her that she too is pregnant. Then it is Elizabeth who tells Mary that she is going to be the mother of the lord.

In conclusion I really liked this Gospel but I think this story was a little too invented and over made. It is very complicates and even sometimes hard to believe.
