The book of Luke begins with a proper introduction, detailing his research methods and what he intends for his readers to learn. This teaches us important lessons about what the gospels are: true accounts about the person of Jesus who can change your life.
Application Questions:
1. Why is it important that we see Luke's gospel as the result of an investigation into the truth, not hearsay or legends?
2. Luke puts forth a person, not an argument, as the answer to our questions, longings, and desires. In what ways is the person of Jesus Christ more satisfying than an argument?
3. Do you come to Christianity, and the Bible particularly, looking for what you should do or what God has done for you in Jesus Christ? How does that shape your daily life?
