We are all that most excellent Theophilus. Lovers of God. Coming to this holy text with open curiosity, to learn all we can about God’s love for God’s mind-boggling creation, no clearer than in the story of Jesus’ birth, life, death, and resurrection. The writer of Luke continues his account in the Acts of the Apostles, giving even more perspective on Jesus from the vantage of what happened afterward. As we dwell in the Gospel of Luke this year, may we all find “the truth” of this profound story and live into it in our daily lives.

What is my favorite story from the Gospel of Luke?
