VICTORIAN VILLAGE Life Style
Luke well knew the weakness of human memory and the ease with which a history changes through additions and alterations when it depends only upon word of mouth and personal reports. What, therefore, does he do? He takes care to write it down.
Reflection for the Week In a world filled with uncertainty, God's Word remains a steady foundation. Every day we are surrounded by competing voices telling us what to believe, how to live, and where to place our hope. Yet the Scriptures gently remind us that truth is not something we create—it is something we receive from the God who never changes. This week, set aside a few quiet moments each day to read a portion of Luke's Gospel. Ask the Lord to open your heart, deepen your faith and help you see Jesus more clearly. As you read, consider not only what the passage says, but how it invites you to trust Him more fully, love others more generously and live with greater confidence in His promises. A Moment of Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of Your Word. Open my eyes to understand Your truth and my heart to receive it with faith. As I read the Gospel of Luke, help me to know Jesus more deeply and to reflect His love in all I do. Strengthen my trust in Your promises, guide my steps each day and give me opportunities to share Your hope with those around me. Amen.
Luke does not wish his friend to remain in doubt concerning any matter of his faith. He tells him that he wants him to “know the certainty of those things, wherein [he had] been instructed.”
Let us close the passage with thankfulness for the Bible. We have a written volume—the Holy Scriptures—which is “able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 3:15, KJV). Let us begin Luke's Gospel with an earnest desire to know more for ourselves of the truth as it is in Jesus and with a heartfelt determination to do everything within our power to spread the knowledge of that truth throughout the world.
