"The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, until the day in which He was taken up, after He though the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen, to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God."
Acts 1:1-3
The Book of Acts is a sequel to Luke's first "best-seller," the "Gospel According to Luke." Luke was a Gentile convert to Christ, and although he was not physically present during Jesus' ministry, we can be sure his account is accurate because he meticulously interviewed the eye-witnesses to Christ's birth, life, death, resurrection, and ascension, and set them in order, so that we may "know the certainty of those things in which you [we] were instructed" (see Luke 1:1-4). There are many "infallible proofs" that these things are true, so we can be confident that the record is true, and what we believe is true.
Today's Thought: The life, death, and life of Christ is not a myth, but is a reality as verified by the eye-witnesses.
Have a confident day. Love you.
