Luke begins his gospel with a brief prologue describing his purpose for writing.  He longs for a believer, name Theophilus meaning "lover of God", to be certain of all the truths that he has heard and read about Jesus, so Luke sets out to write a historical accounting from the beginning all the way through the development of the church in the mid 60's AD.  All of this is written not to undermine or correct any writing that has come before, but to add to the record and offer assurance for believers!  You can be absolutely certain that everything about Jesus recorded in God's Word is TRUE! 

Luke writes to strengthen believers, to address misperceptions of unbelievers, while emphasizing the divine and perfect human aspects of Jesus’ life!  Jesus alone is the Lord and Redeemer of all humanity!  He offers us the assurance that God is at work, accomplishing his purposes, that Jesus is God incarnate and that true followers of Jesus are in reality the people of God, that the Holy Spirit is essential for our every response and action and that no matter who you are or where you’re from Jesus died to rescue you! Jesus is the fulfillment of all the promises of God and though every promise is not yet realized, we can be certain that one day they will be! Luke writes to give certainty and assurance to believers – you can be certain everything about Jesus is true!
