### [Read the passage.](https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Lk1.1-4)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In the very beginning of his writing, Luke lays out his purpose in recording
|
|||
|
|
the life and ministry of Jesus. Though he addresses Theophilus, the style
|
|||
|
|
indicates he expected many people to read his book, so that all believers would
|
|||
|
|
have certainty about the things they have been taught. This certainty comes
|
|||
|
|
from having "followed all things closely" (_v. 3_) that came from "those who
|
|||
|
|
from the beginning were eye-witnesses and ministers of the word" (_v. 2_). So,
|
|||
|
|
while Luke is giving us a second-hand account, his sources are primary sources
|
|||
|
|
who really saw Jesus do amazing things.

You speak only the truth, O Lord. You give us certainty in an uncertain world.
