Why Luke Wrote Luke (Luke 1:1-4) | TMBH Luke #2
Everybody’s got an angle. People who tell you what theirs is upfront are usually more trustworthy. Luke thought Jesus was the Son of God and that he came back from the dead after he was crucified for the sins of all humankind.
I know. It’s a lot to take in.
You may or may not agree with Luke’s assessment, but it only makes sense that if he really believed those things, he’d write it down and make sure that story got in front of as many people as possible. Which is exactly what he did. And he was also kind enough to tell us exactly what he was going for with the whole deal in the first four verses.
