Luke-The Investigative Gospel
It’s Time To Turn
Luke 3:1-20
Luke wanted his friend Theophilus, for whom this gospel account is written to; remember how spiritually dark the world scene was before the appearance of John the Baptist.
1. THE TRUTH MAY NOT BE EASY TO HEAR (Luke 3:3-6)
He confronted the nation as the first authentic prophet in over 400 years: as God’s messenger, with God’s message and declaring God’s judgment.
John’s baptism followed each person’s repentance and was a sign of it.
2. THE TRUTH DEMANDS CHANGE (Luke 3:7-14)
The problem with repentance is that is very difficult for anyone to tell if someone is truly repentant.
He pointed out to them that true repentance means to rethink one’s lifestyle and goals and to carry out the results.
Repentance was a way of life not just a one-time event.
3. THE TRUTH IS THE SAME FOR EVERYONE (Luke 3:19-20)
