Day 1 – Journey thru Luke application
Today is Day #1 of the Journey Through Luke! As we are still learning how to study using this Inductive method in the journals, I thought it’d be helpful to share my thoughts that I wrote this morning as I spent time seeking the Lord in His Word. These thoughts are from the “Application” step, which is the 3rd step in the method, answering the question, “What do the conclusions I’ve discovered mean for me?”
“In this passage, we see that Luke (the author of the book) wanted his friend Theophilus to have certainty about the things he had been taught about Jesus. With that in mind, I too want to have certainty and clarity about the life of the Lord Jesus. This morning, I find myself more motivated to take seriously this study through the book of Luke, because I realize that the book itself was birthed out of a desire for a fellow Christ follower to clearly understand the life of Jesus and all that He accomplished on the earth. By the power of the Holy Spirit and consistently reading in Luke, I know I’ll gain even more confidence in the character and heart of Jesus.”
—I do not share this to give the “correct” application; There is not one right response, because each of us are different people in different situations. This is just the thing that God used Luke 1:1-4 to speak to me personally. May all of you taking this Journey find freedom and power in making your own personal discoveries as God leads you. Peace and love,
Bb
