(Lesson 4292)(10-31-23) Luke 1:1-4
“ Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.”
Today’s quote tells us that the book of Luke is a letter from Luke to “Theophilus” who was a Gentile. A man who had heard of Jesus and His works, but had not yet been convinced of His authenticity. (The name Theophilus means “beloved of God”.)
Luke’s letter was intended to convince Theophilus, and us, that Jesus was indeed the Son of God come to offer eternal salvatio to the lost.~
