About

Arnie and Fred continue their discussion of Luke who is referred to as "the beloved Physician" in Colossians 4 verse 14. We begin by noting that he was an eager gospel teacher who taught Theophilus who was an official in the Roman government. Luke wrote 2 letters to Theophilus which are Luke and Acts. He traveled with Paul and stayed alone in strange lands to continue teaching the gospel. We note that Luke was a reliable historian who investigated fully those things he wrote about, noting this in the first chapter of the epistle that bears his name.  We discuss the fact that he was known and loved by the saints, affectionately mentioned by Paul on two occasions. He evidently used his medical knowledge freely to benefit others, especially the brethren he traveled with. We note that it was certainly providential that a physician would be available to those early Christians as they travelled in their efforts to spread the gospel.  Our discussion includes the fact that Luke became Paul's companion and aide in propagating the gospel. Perhaps having to leave family, friends and his practice to do so.  We  end this episode by talking about the fact that Luke was a loyal disciple who helped to attend to Paul while he was in prison and in his many struggles. It was due to Luke's loyalty to Christ that made it possible for him to serve as he did. Take about 30 minutes to listen in on our discussion.
