Our quiz teams are entering the second half of the season, studying in the gospel of Luke. They have been working hard and learning much Scripture and many lessons. My purpose for starting this blog is to offer an additional look at Luke's gospel. As we study the last half of the book, my goal will be to share ideas and questions that can help us apply the lessons we find here. Comments and questions are always welcomed.
Dr Luke writes to Theophilus so that he (and we) may know the certainty of the things you have been taught. He has carefully investigated everything from the beginning. He has been showing us Jesus as He lived and related with the people around Him. Not everyone was excited to have Jesus around. He challenged ideas that had been around for a long time. He rebuked those who "load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, " and "will not lift one finger to help them." (11:46)
- We have been taught many things at school, at church and among our families and peers. How can we know with certainty what and whom to believe?
- Is Jesus someone we can believe? Does His care for the put-down people show us this?
Dean, glad to see you blogging! Great idea, too, to start blogging on quiz material.
