INTRODUCTION
The reason I am in a position to write these commentaries is because of an intervention from a frequently non-interventionist God.
What do I mean by that? Simply this: The reason I am a Christian today is because one day God declared that NOW was the time for his plan to be enacted, and in some mystical way that our best words are still not equal to the task, shrank himself down enough to fit into a human form.
Have you ever stopped to think how amazing that is?
The stories in Luke are familiar. Very familiar. And they should – I have read them over and over again. The challenge this time around is to dig up things that I haven’t mentioned before, so that I actually can get surprised!
What do we know about Luke?
We know he was Greek, we know he was a doctor and a personal friend of Paul’s. Anything else will have to wait until next time!
Next time: Luke 1.
