Inasmuch as many have taken in hand to set in order a narrative of those things which have been fulfilled among us, just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word delivered them to us, it seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write to you an orderly account, most excellent Theophilus, that you may know the certainty of those things in which you were instructed.
Luke 1:1-4
Luke was a doctor. He was a very logical person. He investigated all the narratives of the Lord’s life as well as take interviews with many who had been eyewitnesses from the beginning. Having made a detailed study of Christ’s life, death and resurrection Luke wants to make sure that his disciple can be confident in his faith.
Like Theophilus ( friend of God) we can be certain about the scripture that we indoctrinate ourselves with. We can gain confidence from His Presence. We need more: He has included us in His plan. If we study the scripture we will see that it is an orderly account of God’s dealings with His people throughout history. We can trust the things of God have been put together in an orderly account.
Keep me in Your word so that my faith may grow increasingly stronger. Help me serve You in meaningful ways. I will instruct others in the way You have led me.
Reading The Word,
Pastor Jason
