At the start of most nonfiction books, an introduction chapter explains why the author wrote the book, what they hope the reader will gain, and what to expect in the pages that follow. The Gospel of Luke begins very similarly. Alistair Begg unpacks the first four verses of Luke 1, which focuses on the letter’s purpose, highlighting that Luke wrote so that Theophilus would come to an assured and certain faith in Jesus as Messiah and Lord.
1Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that ahave been accomplished among us, 2bjust as those who cfrom the beginning were deyewitnesses and eministers of fthe word ghave delivered them to us, 3it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write han orderly account for you, imost excellent jTheophilus, 4that you may have kcertainty concerning the things lyou have been taught.
