Many people have already applied themselves to the task of compiling an account of the events that have been fulfilled among us. They used what the original eyewitnesses and servants of the word handed down to us. Now, after having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, I have also decided to write a carefully ordered account for you, most honorable Theophilus. I want you to have confidence in the soundness of the instruction you have received. (Luke 1:1-4, CEB)
The opening of the first book written by the one named Luke.
It is written for the most honorable Theophilus.
Who is Theophilus?
Well, they could be a Roman official from the days the book was written. Or it could be every person who tries to follow God.
You see, Theo is God in Greek and Philo is love. So Theopilus is lover of God.
So to you, the honorable Theophilus, here is the story to help you remember why it is you love God.
And now use this to go and show others why they should also be Theophilus.
