Best Seller

I listen to cable TV news the same way many people listen to the radio. Hardly a program segment goes by without the host, guest or the news anchor promoting their most recent book. No doubt all these authors have dreams of their books becoming a number one best seller, and in fact some do make the best seller list. I’m quite certain the Gospel writers never promoted their books and could not have imagined they would become contributors to the best selling Book of all times. Luke introduces his book, “Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. Therefore, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught” (Luke 1:1-4 NIV).
