As disciples of Jesus that is one who follows Him, we should understand about His life and Ministry on this earth. First we need to look at the four Gospels to understand His character and nature. The four Gospels were written to four different groups of people and therefore they give a different PERSPCTIVE of His life.

Q1/ Perspective is to look at things from different viewpoints. (True or False)
Q2/ The four Gospels were written to the same group of people. (True or False)

Could you think of four people in your life that you may write a letter to and each letter could be about the same thing, but you write it in a different manner with different emphases on different parts? This was a method used to make Christ appealing to all groups.

Q3/ The Gospel writers wanted Christ to appeal to all groups of people. (True or False)

Luke
Luke is writing to the Greeks that Jesus is the embodiment of wisdom. Luke being a doctor who deals with the birth and life of Christ in a humane way he want to show the readers the humanity of Jesus Christ, hence the term Son of Man. He places all the details in order so that it is clear to the reader finally he deals with the death and the Resurrection the victory and hope of mankind. Luke shows Jesus coming for His own the Savior.

Q4/ Jesus is the embodiment of knowledge. (True or False)
Q5/ Luke portrays the victory that can be found in Christ over death. (True or False)
Q6/ Luke wants to show the humanity of Christ. (True or False)

The Jews place importance on the fulfillment of prophecy, Romans on the man of action, Greeks on  embodiment of wisdom. John the Apostle of love wrote about Jesus as the object of faith.
All four are essential in the understanding of Jesus Emmanuel God with us. Jesus became man to be with us so that He could demonstrate His love for us.
Matthew and Luke put a human face on Jesus by starting at His birth and than onto His growth and coming to His time of ministry.

Account according to Luke:
Announcement of His soon coming birth.
1.    Christ birth announced to Mary (Luke1: 26 to 38) (Matt 1:18to 25)
2.    Mary visits Elizabeth (Luke 1:39 to45) about 7 or 6 BC
3.    In verse 41 Elizabeth confirms Mary’s child as Lord, Mary sings a song in verses 46 to 55
4.    Christ is born (Luke2: 1 to 7) about 6 or 5BC
5.    Circumcision of Jesus (Luke 2; 21)  (Lev 12:3)  *8 days
6.    Jesus Presented in the Temple (Luke2: 22 to 24)  (Deut 18:4) (Lev 12:2to 8) *33 more days 40 days in total

Q7/ The angel came and made the announcement to Mary in Luke 2:1. (True or False)
Q8/ Jesus was born about 5 AD. (True or False)

 The Birth, Child, Adolescent and Manhood
The family returns to Nazareth (Luke 2:39,40)    (about 4 BC)
Luke doesn’t mention the flight into Egypt he only refers to the return Matthew records this information 2:19 to 23
Once again Luke deals with the childhood Jesus (Luke 2: 40 to 51) in a short and concise way. We need to look at other examples that might give us some idea of Jesus childhood. (1Samuel2: 26 & 21) 3:19]
Verse 40 said the child grew from    (4BC to 7 or 8 AD)

Q9/ Luke describes the journey into Egypt. (True or False)

We don’t have much information about the young child although in Luke 2:40 it says, And the Child grew and became strong in the spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.
Verse 42 Jesus is now 12 years     (8AD)

Q10/ Jesus grew and became weak in the spirit. (True or False)

Then His family goes to the Temple and Jesus stays behind to speak to the teachers and the people (Luke 2:41 to 50) Jesus said I must be about My Fathers business. Mary and Joseph didn’t understand for some reason.
In verse 51 Jesus becomes subject to them.

Q11/ Jesus was about the Fathers business. (True or False)
Q12/ Joseph is the father Jesus mentioned. (True or False)

Between verse 51 and 52 Jesus grows up to a man some 18 to 19 years passes.
Then Jesus reappears in 27AD and starts His Ministry.
*What happened on these silent years?                          
I think these silent years were a great time of growth for Christ because He knew that he was the Son of God and that He had come to earth to fulfill the Will and the Word of God. But he had to be subject to His earthly parents.

Q13/ Jesus was obedient to His earthly parents. (True or False)

Other examples
No 1
Exodus 2; 11 Moses heard his call at 40 years old and with all zeal and not much wisdom he kill’s an Egyptian v12. He then runs away to Midian for 40 years v15.
Now a Midian priest in v16 Jethro has 7 daughters and a lot of sheep
Moses learns to be a Shepard Ex 3: 1
He is now 80years old and in v 10 God says for him to go and lead the His people out of Egypt. At this point in time there is not much of the old man left in Moses, 40 silent years had pasted.

Q14/ Moses was in Midian for forty years. (True or False)

No 2
Joseph in Genesis 37 with little wisdom tells his brothers that they would bowed to him. Joseph was 17 then they sold him into slavery the beginning of his silent years.
Genesis 41: 46 Joseph is 30 now 13 years had passed and Joseph is placed in charge of Egypt
Genesis 41:48 gathers up food for 7 years
It was 22 years (Genesis 45:6) before the dream had come to pass and that he could serve his people.
God had sent him ahead. V7

Q15/ Joseph was 30 years old when his brothers sold him. (True or False)      

                  
No2, 3 & 4
You could look at the life of David , Paul and John Mark and list can goes on. It appears to me that all the powerful people of God Go through a quiet time and it has been termed as the silent years.
Christ is our example and we can see from the scriptures that He went trough the same things.
We can see from other Biblical charters that they also had to go through silent years before they were able to fulfill the will of God. All are example of developed wisdom in their testing time, which again is appealing to the Greeks.

Q16/ the development of wisdom was appealing to the Greeks. (True or False)

Luke gives more details than other gospels writers regarding Jesus ministry.
Jesus brings the gospel to the poor (Luke 8:43,48;  Luke 15:15-16,22)
Jesus heals the broken-hearted (Luke 8:49-56, Luke 7:12-15)
Jesus proclaim liberty to the captives ('Legion' in Luke 8:26-39)
Jesus proclaim the opening of the prison to those who are bound ( Luke 13:10-17)
Jesus proclaims the acceptable year of the Lord (Luke 5:18-25; Leviticus 25:10).

Q17/ Luke goes into great detail about Jesus’ ministry. (True or False)

Jesus reveals that God is triune: the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He is the living God. And the Messiah, the son of David, David's Lord is the second of the Godhead (Luke 20:37-44). Like Isaac, Jesus the Son is to be willing to be offered up (Genesis 22:1-18) as the Lamb of God fulfill.

Q18/ Jesus is the Lamb of God. (True or False)

Finally Luke 24:44-45 Jesus appears with wounds in hands and feet, He eats fish in front of them and then opens their minds to understand in all of the scriptures the things concerning Him
