Luke 1:1 - 1:25

Gospel of LukeSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg discusses the first 25 verses of Luke chapter 1, emphasizing the importance of understanding the context of the Gospel. Gregg reminds listeners that though Luke parallels Mark and Matthew, it does not mean that Luke's account is less accurate. He underscores the significance of the prophecy of the birth of John the Baptist and the appearance of the angel of the Lord, who announced the impending birth of Elizabeth's son to Zechariah, who would later become John's father. Finally, Gregg offers some insights into the question of why Zechariah was made mute as a result of his encounter with the angel.
