What I read was an orderly account, based on the fruit of the doctor’s careful investigation. He wanted to leave his friend with no doubt about the things he was taught!  (Luke 1:1-4)

His last chapter (Luke 24) was filled with the unexpected:

1. Hope in the midst of loss & tears (at the tomb)
2. Presence ~ Jesus walking alongside in the midst of confusion, fear and uncertainty (on the road to Emmaus)
3. Peace ~ Assurance that came to his disciples in a tangible way.

Jesus left his disciples with no doubt as to Who He is, and what He must do! The disciples in turn worshipped Him, returned with joy and stayed continually at the temple, praising God (Luke 24:52 – 53).

Reading the Gospel of Luke and being read by the Word, has been a long & not-so-easy journey. Many questions, many doubt, much tempted to give up, asking ‘what’s the point?’ in itself is a journey that reflects life. But if at the end, I am inspired by Hope and Peace because of His Presence … then I am thankful for Luke’s careful investigation and orderly account!
