THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO LUKE · STUDY 03
Luke 3:1–38
Prepare the Way for the King
A Guided Journey Through Scripture
UNDERSTANDING LUKE 3
Preparing for the Promised Messiah
John the Baptist begins preaching in the wilderness, calling people to repent and prepare for the coming Messiah. He teaches that genuine repentance should produce visible changes in the way people live.
Jesus is then baptized, the Holy Spirit descends upon Him, and the Father identifies Him as His beloved Son. Luke concludes the chapter with Jesus’ genealogy, tracing His family line all the way back to Adam.
As you read, notice what John teaches about repentance, what Jesus’ baptism reveals about His identity, and how Luke connects Jesus to the larger story of humanity.
God calls people to prepare for the Messiah through repentance and reveals Jesus as His beloved Son.
