Overview
If someone comes along and says, “I’m going to tell you the story of Jesus,” the first question that comes up is, “Where did you get your information? How do we know it’s reliable?”

Luke says, “I’m going to tell you the true story of Jesus.” And in that, are three points: 1) the gospel is about Jesus, 2) the gospel is true, and 3) the gospel is a story.
