or years, I had retold a story from a time in Ghana when my brother and I were tod- dlers. As I recalled it, he had parked our old iron tricycle on a small cobra. The trike DAILY was too heavy for the snake, which remained trapped under the front wheel. But after my aunt and my mother had both passed away, we discovered a long- lostF letter from Mom recounting the incident. In reality, I had parked the tricycle on the snake, and my brother had run to tell Mom. Her eyewitness account, written close to the PATh actual event, revealed the reality. The historian Luke understood the importance of accurate records. He explained how the story of Jesus was “handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses” (Luke 1:2). “I too decided to write an orderly account for you,” he wrote to Theophilus, “so The Snake and that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught” (vv. 3–4). The result was the gospel of Luke. Then, in his introduction to the book of Acts, Luke said of Jesus, the Tricycle “After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive” (Acts 1:3). BiBle ReaD: Luke 1:1–4 Our faith is not based on hearsay or wishful thinking. It is rooted in the well-documented life of Jesus, who came to give us peace with God. His Story stands. THougHT foR ToDay: I myself have carefully investigated Father, our hope is in Your Son. Thank You for preserving His story for us in the pages everything from the beginning. of the Bible. ~ Luke 1:3 Genuine faith is rooted in reason.
