Find & Follow Jesus, Quarter 4Näide

Devotional:
“Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us…” – Luke 1:1 (NIV)
At first glance, Luke 1:1 might seem like just a formal introduction—but it reveals something powerful about the nature of our faith. Luke, a physician and careful historian, didn’t blindly accept what he heard about Jesus. He investigated, asked questions, and carefully documented the truth.
Christianity is not built on vague legends or spiritual hearsay—it is grounded in historical events that were seen, heard, and recorded. Luke affirms that many people had already started writing about Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection because these events had changed everything. The phrase “things that have been fulfilled among us” points to God’s promises coming true—prophecy becoming reality.
Luke’s opening line reminds us that our faith can stand up to scrutiny and doubt. It’s not a myth or wishful thinking; it’s a faith rooted in fulfilled promises, eyewitness testimony, and the real-life actions of a real Savior.
For the believer, this is a call to deeper confidence. For the skeptic, it’s an invitation to explore. And for those struggling with doubt, God isn’t afraid of our questions—He welcomes honest seekers. Luke wrote so that we might know the certainty of what we believe (see verse 4). In a world filled with uncertainty, that assurance is a gift.
Prayer:
Who in your life is struggling to believe in Jesus? Maybe it’s someone who has wandered away from their faith or been hurt by the church. God welcomes doubt and loves the prodigal. He longs to answer their questions. Take a moment to pray for this person and for opportunities for them to see the reality of Jesus’ love for them.
About this Plan

Follow our quarterly plans to read through the entire Bible in one year, plus a bonus round through the Gospels and Romans. Each day, we encourage you to read the sections from both the Old Testament and the New Testament, and then set aside some time to write down, journal, or memorize the first posted verse from each day. Every week we provide an additional devotional for further discussion on that week's themes.
