“The Exact Truth”

Blessings folk!

We continue reading the Scripture about the birth of Jesus.

On to Luke.

Luke states that he had a chronological purpose…

Luk 1:1-4

Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile an account of the things
accomplished among us,

just as they were handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word,

it seemed fitting for me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you in consecutive order, most excellent Theophilus;

so that you may know the exact truth about the things you have been taught.

Luke acknowledges that many had compiled accounts of the “things accomplished among us”…the things of Jesus.

Luke lets us know that he spoke with eyewitnesses and servants of “the word”.

He had heard the accounts from witnesses.

Therefore, he sought to investigate everything carefully from the beginning.
He sought to write it out for Theophilus.
He sought to write it “in consecutive order”.

Luke’s purpose?

So that Theophilus could know the exact truth about the things he had been taught.

Thus we have Luke (and Acts)!

Learn the exact truth…
