"The Son of Man has come to seek and save that which was lost." Those words, spoken by Jesus Himself, summarize both the purpose of His earthly ministry and the theme of Luke's gospel. In chapters 18-24, Luke traces the next phase of Jesus' ministry as He enters Jerusalem with fanfare, is tried and crucified by His enemies, and is resurrected in victory. The message of salvation, which permeates this gospel, is as powerful and life-transforming today as it was two millennia ago.Join John MacArthur as he explains each verse in a way that is both doctrinally precise and intensely practical.
