Luke

Dear Heavenly Father,
Bless my time in the book of Luke. Give me eyes to see and ears to hear what You have intended for me. Let me take what I glean and manifest it into my daily life to bring glory to You. I thank-you that I can call You, Abba Father! Amen

The book of Luke, was written by Luke who also wrote Acts. Both books were written to Theophilus. Luke is the only gentile author in the New Testament and I found it interesting that he quoted the least from the Old Testament and when he did go there he read from the LXX, a Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures. He uses Greek terminology over Hebrew: "The Skull" over "Golgotha", for instance.

Luke's book stays very much to the chronological order of Christ's life. Luke stresses Jesus' relentless progression toward the cross, which was the very purpose Jesus came to earth.
