Understanding the Scriptures

Ralph E. Wagers

Luke made an important contribution to Christianity in providing two books of the Bible, the Gospel that bears his name and the Book of Acts. In his Gospel he records two incidents that show the importance Christ Jesus attached to understanding the Scriptures.

At the beginning of his ministry, Jesus, following his custom of going into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, stood and read from Isaiah the prophecy that foretold the coming of the Messiah. Closing the book, he said to the congregation, "This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears" (Luke 4:21).
