Today, we
begin reading the birth narratives in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.
Opening: Have you drawn up your last will and testament? What important facts
did you include? Who would you choose as the biographer of your life story, and
why?
Scripture: Read
Luke 1:1-4.
Connect
the Text with Your Life:
- What do you learn from verses 1-4 about Luke? About the reason he wrote this Gospel?
- If you have a commentary or a Bible Dictionary, look up Theophilus and see what you can find.
- What are your sources for your faith and understanding of the truth of the Gospel? List them.
Prayer
Focus: That you will “know the truth, and the truth will
set you free.”[1]
