And we are finally in the New Testament, ladies! The yearning and longing of the Old Testament studies is over and here we are ... re-living the beginning of the coming of Christ through our study of God's Word. Please share your verses and comments below.
My verse: Luke 1:3-4 (I know. That's two verses. But 4 alone does not make as much sense ...) "Having carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I also have decided to write an accurate account for you, most honorable Theophilus, so you can be certain of the truth of everything you were taught."
My thoughts: Lord God, I'm so grateful for Dr. Luke and his meticulous research! I love that my faith is anchored in historical FACT. Elizabeth and Zechariah were real people who suffered with childlessness through no fault of their own ... and then were blessed to be the parents of John, who would "turn many Israelites to the Lord their God (vs 16)" SUCH a marvelous ... true ... story!!
Agreeing v. 3-4. I am so grateful that God placed this hunger in my heart to know the truth. In a world so filled with deception and subtle manipulation of the facts, I am so thankful that Luke was inspired to accurately record these all important events.
Yes!
