Luke continues to set the scene for the remainder of this book. Here, he defines clearly the work that Christ intends to do on Earth through His Church - which is all related to His Kingdom. We see:
- The nature of this Kingdom.
- Christ’s strategy for the progress of this Kingdom.
- When the beginning and end of the Kingdom would be.
Realizing that all authority has been given to Christ and that He has assumed the place of authority at the Father’s right hand, we have great encouragement to be instruments in His hands as He continues this work through us.
