Journey Through the Gospel of Lukeಮಾದರಿ

Savior for All Humanity
As the “Savior of the World” Jesus will demonstrate his concern for people beyond the boundaries of Jewish territories—and sensibilities. In so doing he will actually be standing in the long tradition of some major Old Testament figures.
We’ve noted some of the similarities between Jesus and Elijah, but it’s worth revisiting this connection. Luke emphasizes their similarities in order to remind us ultimately just how different the two men are. Read 1 Kings 17:10-24 and also Luke 7:11-17. Complete the following by filling in brief descriptions that correspond to the parallel in 1 Kings.
Elijah raised the son of a widow in Zarephath. He first met the widow at the town gate. (1 Kings 17:10)
From Jesus (Luke 7:11-17): ___________________________________________________________
The boy who died was the son of a widow. (1 Kings 17:9, 17)
From Jesus (Luke 7:11-17): ___________________________________________________________
The expression is that Elijah “gave” the boy back to his mother. (1 Kings 17:23)
From Jesus (Luke 7:11-17): ___________________________________________________________
