“God, I thank you that I am not like the other men –
robbers, evildoers,
adulterers – or even this tax
collector. I fast twice a week
and give a tenth of all I get.” (v.11, NIV)
Dr. Luke appears three times in
the New Testament as a
• “dear friend Luke, the doctor,” (Col 4:14);
• “fellow-worker” (Phil 1:24);
• and a faithful friend of Paul in the dark hours of his approaching martyrdom (II Tim 4:11)
Theo means
God
And philus,
lover.
Put together, “Lover of God.”
Out of the black night
that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I think whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the full clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeoning of chance
My head’s bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath
and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matter not how strait the gate.
How charged with punishments
the scroll
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
“Then he turned to his host, ‘When you put on a luncheon
or a dinner, he said, ‘’don’t invite your friends, brothers, relatives, and rich neighbors.
For they will repay you by inviting you back. Instead,
invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. Then
at the resurrection of the godly, God will reward you for inviting those who could not
repay you.’” (Luke 14:12-14, NLT)
