Quoting Tim LaHaye, " . . . This record of His life is the longest and most detailed; you will find things mentioned here that are not included elsewhere."
Perhaps you could record some events not found in Matthew and Mark. Why do you suppose they are listed in Luke, only?

Amazing Grace
by Charles Spurgeon
"Observe the rain that drops from heaven. It falls on the desert as well as on the fertile field. It drops on the rock that will refuse its fertilizing moisture as well as on the soil that opens its gaping mouth to drink it in with gratitude. See, it falls on the hard-trodden streets of the populous city, where it is not required and where men will even curse it for coming. It falls no more freely where the sweet flowers have been panting for it and the withering leaves have been rustling forth their prayers.
Such is the grace of God. It does not visit us because we ask for it, much less because we deserve it. But as God wills it, the bottles of heaven are unstopped and grace descends. No matter how vile and black and foul and godless men may be, he will have mercy on whom he will have mercy. That free, rich, overflowing goodness of his can make the very worst and least deserving the objects of his best and choicest love."
Thank you Lord for your love and provision. We now pray that you would bless us with understanding and discernment as we read your word this week. May you speak to us through these first 21 chapters of Luke. May we be a blessing to and for you, as you have blessed us so richly. In Jesus' precious name. Amen.
