Reading: Luke 1
My Verse: "[My purpose is] that you may know the full truth and understand with certainity and security against error the accounts and doctrines of the faith of which you have been informed and in which you have been orally instructed." (1:4)
Immediately, I am drawn into Luke's account. Suddenly! There is a stirring! Our Lord inserts himself again into the history - the pageantry of man. Prophecy becoming reality!
Gabriel, the angel, who "stands in the presence of God" appears!
First, to Zachariah to tell him he is to have a son - a special son. When that son is born Zachariah is given foreknowledge of what his son will do. "And you, little one, shall be called a prophet of the Most High; for you shall go on before the face of the Lord to make ready His ways." (1:76)
Then to Mary, to tell her she is to be the mother of the Saviour of the world! Her response? "For He has looked upon the low station and humiliation of His handmaiden. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed and declare me happy and to be envied!" (1:48)
Dear Lord, thank you for this account of Luke. Thank You, for the effort he put into this. "It seemed good and desirable to me, also after having searched out diligently and followed all things closely and trace accurately the course from the highest to the minutest detail from the very first, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus." (1:3)
Luke's purpose was a lofty one and You Lord helped him to succeed in his purpose. I shall enjoy my time reading the rest of this story for I do love a good story and this is of course the best ever!
Ditat Deus - God Enriches!
