Skeptics Invited
- Luke 1 (Posted by Beth Underwood)
In the first few
verses of Luke, he invites people who are skeptics to explore the gospel of Jesus
Christ. He is writing to "Theophilus"', described as the most
excellent. So I looked up the description "most excellent"...other
places in Scripture it is used to describe Roman government officials who are not
believers in the gospel of Jesus. (Acts 24:3 and Acts 26:25). This makes me
ask: what is the relationship Luke has with this guy?
Luke kicks off
his gospel telling his hearer(s) that he is not a blind faith kind of guy...but
someone who read a lot about Jesus, listened to people with eye witness
accounts, etc....he invites skeptics to explore the certainty of Jesus as
God...is Jesus trustworthy?
I have received a
number of formal and informal invitations just this week alone...a baby shower,
Facebook Groups, a wedding, meals with others, and more. Not to mention, the
many ads and commericals that invite me to be branded by their products. These
are all invitations to enrich our lives, are they not?
What is the
gospel of Jesus offering you right now? What are you certain of about Jesus...what are you
skeptical about, in regards to Christianity?
