Good Morning “Historians and Scholars”. Today we are in Luke 1.
Luke wrote 2 books, Luke and Acts. As a Doctor Luke purposed to gather all the information he could and record it. Luke and Acts come together to tell us how God first went after Israel and then the Nations - with the Good News of Jesus. Luke’s recordings read much like a detailed history lesson. He addresses his writing to Theophilus who was likely a Roman official. Luke wanted to make sure he understood THIS “Good News”!
Luke’s writings are the summary of letters, speeches, songs, travel records, eye witness accounts, trial transcripts and whatever else he could get his hands on.
Times were different then. Luke didn’t just ask Siri or Google for this information. Imagine the amount of time it took for him to gather enough information to be able to record with this much detail. Why? Why would he do it? He recognized the miracle of Jesus! He knew the life saving value for all that will read what he recorded. Remember, Luke was a doctor, a life saver - by trade. He had an heart for people and understood the story of Jesus to be the power for salvation for all who believe (Romans 1:16). He understood we are not just talking about this life, but eternity. Luke was all in!
Dig in and pay attention to the detail in Luke’s account - it’s worth it. He includes things the others don’t!
Love you all! Dig in and live it out!
