Crime scene investigators , perform a valuable task. Their careful and detailed work of collecting, preserving, and identifying evidence can explain, solve, and prevent crimes. They insure that information is properly documented and disseminated. These skilled professionals write detailed reports about their discoveries and often provide expert testimony in criminal trials.
In a similar manner, Luke serves as a “Gospel story investigator” through his account of the life and ministry of Jesus. Luke was a physician, and a friend and traveling companion of the Apostle Paul. In both the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts, he provides detailed accounts of the birth, life, and ministry of the Messiah, as well as the birth and advance of the Church.
Luke relies on eyewitness testimony as he constructs his Gospel account and speaks to the comprehensive nature of his research when he states, “Therefore, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught” .
Luke wanted to present the facts about Jesus so that people would place their faith in the Messiah. Luke carefully presents evidence about Jesus through accounts of the Savior’s teachings and miracles, as well as his involvement with people from all strata of society. May your heart be warmed as you consider Luke’s work .
