Exalting Jesus in Luke (Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary | CCE)
Logos 電子版
Overview
Exalting Jesus in Luke is part of the Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary series. Edited by David Platt, Daniel L. Akin, and Tony Merida, this new commentary series, projected to be 48 volumes, takes a Christ-centered approach to expositing each book of the Bible. Rather than a verse-by-verse approach, the authors have crafted chapters that explain and apply key passages in their assigned Bible books.
Readers will learn to see Christ in all aspects of Scripture, and they will be encouraged by the devotional nature of each exposition presented as sermons and divided into chapters that conclude with a “Reflect & Discuss” section, making this series ideal for small group study, personal devotion, and even sermon preparation. It’s not academic but rather presents an easy reading, practical and friendly commentary.
The author of Exalting Jesus in Luke is Thabiti M. Anyabwile
- Seeks to display exegetical accuracy
- Offers helpful illustrations and theologically-driven applications
- Provides a commentary that busy pastors can use for weekly preparation of biblically faithful and gospel-saturated sermons

“It’s customary for us to think the first to confess that Jesus is the Christ was Peter. Actually, the first to make this confession is the older woman, Elizabeth, who confesses Jesus is Lord even before Jesus is born.” (Luke 1:41–45)
“We can’t get to know Jesus merely through Bible study and intellectual understanding. We must have revelation from God.” (Luke 24:28–35)
“Luke 22:42). This is how faithful people respond to God’s plan, even when they do not understand it.” (Luke 1:38)
“What God does in the world has nothing do with our ages or our hometowns. God uses whomever he wills.” (Luke 1:26–27)
“Verses 17–20 lay for us a pattern to be repeated by disciples of the Lord throughout all generations. The shepherds teach others what they heard and saw. Mary treasures it in her heart. Then the shepherds return home to tell others of the glory of God. From the time of the Savior’s birth, those receiving the Savior have followed this pattern of teach, treasure, and tell. Can there be any other response to God’s mercy in Jesus Christ? Can there be any other response to seeing the glory of God? Let us teach it, treasure it, and tell it abroad forever.” (Luke 1:57–2:20)
