under the general title. Jesus
Meeting Human Needs" In our
review we glimpse the entire Cos
pei and apply the general topic
throughout the entire course.
LUKE'S LIFE OF JESUS
The Gospel of Luke was intend
ed for general circulation among
the Gentiles throughout the Ro-
man Empire. Written by the be-
loved physician, it emphasized the
humanity of Christ and strlklngly
shows how he met and still meets
human needs. After most careful
historical investigation, Luke gave
special attention to the chron-
illogical order of leading events,
and covered the entire Life from
the Annunciation to the Ascen-
sion. 1t is the longest and fullest
of the four Gospels. We divide 1t
thus:
Private Life, Chapters 1 to
2.-Gahlean Ministry, Chapters
4 to 8.
3.-Perean Ministry, Chapters
10 to 10. o
4.-Crucifixion Week, Chapters
5.-The Forty Days, Chapter

and greatest need. And Jesus met
it completely. He came to seek

of his Word gives light. Men wan

unless and until the Sun of Right
eousness arises upon them. He IS
the Light of the World: .

is to find the one sure path lead
ing through the good life on earth
to the larger life in heaven.
