The Gospel of Luke

The Gospel of Luke

The Gospel according to Luke is the first part of a two-volume work that continues the biblical history of God’s dealings with humanity found in the Old Testament, showing how God’s promises to Israel have been fulfilled in Jesus and how the salvation promised to Israel and accomplished by Jesus has been extended to the Gentiles. The stated purpose of the two volumes is to provide Theophilus and others like him with certainty—assurance—about earlier instruction they have received. To accomplish his purpose, Luke shows that the preaching and teaching of the representatives of the early church are grounded in the preaching and teaching of Jesus, who during his historical ministry prepared his specially chosen followers and commissioned them to be witnesses to his resurrection and to all else that he did. This continuity between the historical ministry of Jesus and the ministry of the apostles is Luke’s way of guaranteeing the fidelity of the Church’s teaching to the teaching of Jesus. Luke’s story of Jesus and the church is dominated by a historical perspective. This history is first of all salvation history. God’s divine plan for human salvation was accomplished during the period of Jesus, who through the events of his life fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies, and this salvation is now extended to all humanity in the period of the church. This salvation history, moreover, is a part of human history. Luke relates the story of Jesus and the church to events in contemporary Palestinian history for, as Paul says, “this was not done in a corner.” Finally, Luke relates the story of Jesus and the church to contemporaneous church history. Luke is concerned with presenting Christianity as a legitimate form of worship in the Roman world, a religion that is capable of meeting the spiritual needs of a world empire like that of Rome. To this end, Luke depicts the Roman governor Pilate declaring Jesus innocent of any wrongdoing three times. At the same time Luke argues in Acts that Christianity is the logical development and proper fulfillment of Judaism and is therefore deserving of the same toleration and freedom traditionally accorded Judaism by Rome. The prominence given to the period of the church in the story has important consequences for Luke’s interpretation of the teachings of Jesus. By presenting the time of the church as a distinct phase of salvation history, Luke accordingly shifts the early Christian emphasis away from the expectation of an imminent parousia to the day-to-day concerns of the Christian community in the world. He does this in the gospel by regularly emphasizing the words “each day” in the sayings of Jesus. Although Luke still believes the parousia to be a reality that will come unexpectedly, he is more concerned with presenting the words and deeds of Jesus as guides for the conduct of Christian disciples in the interim period between the ascension and the parousia and with presenting Jesus himself as the model of Christian life and piety. Throughout the gospel, Luke calls upon the Christian disciple to identify with the master Jesus, who is caring and tender toward the poor and lowly, the outcast, the sinner, and the afflicted, toward all those who recognize their dependence on God, but who is severe toward the proud and self-righteous, and particularly toward those who place their material wealth before the service of God and his people. No gospel writer is more concerned than Luke with the mercy and compassion of Jesus. No gospel writer is more concerned with the role of the Spirit in the life of Jesus and the Christian disciple, with the importance of prayer, or with Jesus’ concern for women. While Jesus calls all humanity to repent, he is particularly demanding of those who would be his disciples. Of them he demands absolute and total detachment from family and material possessions. To all who respond in faith and repentance to the word Jesus preaches, he brings salvation and peace and life.

“Tell me you want me as badly as I want you,” his breath came out hot and heavy on my face was so close to mine. I could smell him. “No, I d-don’t want you. Leave me alone.” I tried to say but my voice came out choked and breathy. He pulled back and my eyes immediately flew open. His eyes bored into me with such intensity that I could feel it in my core. “I’ll make you admit it one day and then you will be mine,” he said huskily and then pulled himself back from me, turned on his heels and walked away. I fell to my knees, heart pounding as an unknown feeling washed over me. ****** Luke Walker is your definition of Mr. Popular and high school sweetheart.

Who are the important characters in 'Luke Skywalker Dark Side Novel' besides Luke Skywalker?
1 answer

Luke's friends from the light side could also be important. Characters like Leia, Han Solo, or Chewbacca. Their reactions to Luke's turn and their attempts to bring him back would be significant aspects of the story. There could also be new characters created specifically for this novel, perhaps some Jedi who were thought to be dead but are actually in hiding and oppose Luke's new path.

There could be. Fanfiction writers love to take established characters like Luke Skywalker and put them in unexpected situations. A 'kidnapped' scenario might be used to explore different aspects of his character. Maybe it's a story where he's kidnapped by a new, mysterious force in the galaxy, and his friends have to rescue him. It's all about the creativity of the fans who write these stories.

Well, one possibility is that Luke Skywalker could use his Jedi powers to help the Avengers in combat. His lightsaber skills and ability to use the Force would be a great asset against powerful villains. For example, he could deflect energy blasts from enemies like Ultron, much like he deflected blaster bolts in the Star Wars universe.

One of the best is his journey in 'The Empire Strikes Back'. He goes to Dagobah to train with Yoda, which is full of interesting moments like facing his inner fears in the Dark Side Cave. Another great story is in 'Return of the Jedi' where he redeems his father, Darth Vader. His decision to throw away his lightsaber in front of the Emperor shows his strong belief in the power of good and the Jedi way.

Luke would probably be in awe of Kanan's skills as a Jedi, despite his different training. He might learn some new tricks from Kanan. With Ezra, he could be like a mentor, guiding him further in the ways of the Force. And with Hera, he'd respect her leadership and might offer his own strategic insights based on his experiences fighting the Empire.
