Greetings Dear Reader,
One must read chapter sixteen of acts carefully to realize
what happens here. Luke, the writer
shifts from third person to include himself.
Most of the commentary on this agrees that at this point Luke joins Paul
on his journey. He moves from chronicler
to fellow traveler.
As a writer this is quite personal for me. I cannot sit on the sidelines and pundit
about faith and following. That is not
my nature. My social responsibility is
to be there for those in my path who need to see what Christ has to offer. I need to renew daily my commitment to
follow.
Luke already knows how much Paul has suffered because of his
faith. He knows the danger and
cost. He still chooses to join
them. It is one of the reasons that I
admire this writer so much. What good is
faith if it does not translate into action?
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store."
