Introduction
This morning we will look at the prologue of Luke’s gospel which will help us to understand the situation of the author, the recipients, as well as the purpose for which Luke is writing.
This introduction can be viewed as a road map that shows us where we are going.
[Scripture Passage]
Charles Templeton was converted in 1936, began pastoring a church in 1941, and became a friend of Billy Graham’s and fellow evangelist with Youth For Christ in 1945.
However, in 1948, Templeton began questioning his faith, just before entering Princeton Seminary.
In 1957 Templeton publicly announced he had become agnostic.
In 1995 He would go on to write a popular account of his departure from faith titled, Farewell to God: My Reasons for Rejecting the Christian Faith.
In The Case for Faith, Lee Strobel had the opportunity to interview Templeton, just a few years before his death.
Strobel asked:
“And how do you assess this Jesus?”
It seemed like the next logical question—but I wasn’t ready for the response it would evoke.
Templeton’s body language softened.
It was as if he suddenly felt relaxed and comfortable in talking about an old and dear friend.
His voice, which at times had displayed such a sharp and insistent edge, now took on a melancholy and reflective tone.
His guard seemingly down, he spoke in an unhurried pace, almost nostalgically, carefully choosing his words as he talked about Jesus.
“He was,” Templeton began, “the greatest human being who has ever lived.
He was a moral genius.
His ethical sense was unique.
He was the intrinsically wisest person that I’ve ever encountered in my life or in my readings.
His commitment was total and led to his own death, much to the detriment of the world.
What could one say about him except that this was a form of greatness?”
I was taken aback.
“You sound like you really care about him,” I said.
“Well, yes, he is the most important thing in my life,” came his reply.
“I . . .
I . . .
I . . .
,” he stuttered, searching for the right word, ‘I know it may sound strange, but I have to say . . .
I adore him!” . . .
” . . .
Everything good I know, everything decent I know, everything pure I know, I learned from Jesus.
Yes . . .
yes.
And tough!
Just look at Jesus.
He castigated people.
He was angry.
People don’t think of him that way, but they don’t read the Bible.
He had a righteous anger.
He cared for the oppressed and exploited.
