Luke 1:1 -4 Foretold and Fulfilled
“Since many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the events that have been fulfilled among us, just as those who were eyewitnesses from the beginning and ministers of the word have handed them down to us, I too have decided, after investigating everything accurately anew, to write it down in an orderly sequence for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may realize the certainty of the teachings you have received.”
Luke begins his gospel by telling us that the long awaited events that he relates are now fulfilled. They are transmitted to us by eyewitnesses and ministers of the word – those whose words can be trusted. Why? My guess is that it is to bring us closer to God - hence the title of this blog – (which comes from James 4:8). Saint James tells us, “Draw close to God and He will draw close to you.” This is my quest and my journey – and I begin in the Gospel of Luke. Welcome! and feel free to join in with your own thoughts as you read these scriptures.
