Is There Life After Acts? For Luke
December 10, 2021 • Gary Olsen, Chris Reighley • Revelation 2:10; Hebrews 12:1–2
An Online Study for the Sunday Night Bible Study at Rolling Hills Community Church in Lago Vista, Texas
Teachers: Gary Olsen & Chris Reighley
What happened after Acts; at the end of the book, we leave Luke in Rome with Paul, but what happens next?! What about the author Luke? And how about Peter … he dropped out of the picture at the halfway mark, not to be heard from again … What gives?!
Luke’s legacy concludes with martyrdom in central Greece during Domitian’s reign. This final session honors Luke’s unwavering faith, his ordination in Egypt, and his quiet heroism. We trace his path from physician to historian to martyr—and reflect on what it means to follow Christ all the way to the end.
- Luke’s ordination in Alexandria
- Martyrdom in Boeotia, Greece (84 AD)
- His legacy in Christian art, tradition, and Scripture
- Finishing the race with faith and truth
