A Solution for Great Peace in Agape of Luke’s Gospel

Abstract

This paper is an ideal attempt that ordinary and religious agape of Christianity could be used to find a way to deal with social problems which could hardly solve in contemporary society such as between black and white, male and female, and etc. In doing so, it explores educational meaning of agape for solving conflicts in Jesus’ teaching, especially in Luke’s gospel. Jesus was interested in the weak such as the poor and the sick in community very much, and those who are neglected in their society. Agape is the core emphasis in Jesus’ teaching as loving neighbors. Luke different from Matthew and Mark purposed that agape is one of the best teaching methods to Jesus’ disciples and people. It will focus on how Jesus taught agape to his disciples and people, and how Jesus showed agape to them in different places and circumstances as teaching methods. After that, the paper will conclude that Jesus is a great teacher and agape could be a good educational method for social conflicts even in our society. Although agape is from old ages, it would be the good way of teaching and learning for solving strong disagreements even today.
