Episode 100: Luke 2 Part 1 The Impact of Jesus: Shepherds to Doctors

Luke 2 starts with more details from Luke as he gives us more names of Roman leaders which gives us a time frame for the birth of Jesus. He talks about a census that had taken place which many people use to discredit Luke and his gospel. There are several arguments that support Luke including an autobiography by Augustus himself called the Res Gestae and in it he mentions having a census done several times. I have provided a couple of links that are interesting reads that support Luke and his gospel in the description on YouTube. We get into the birth of Jesus as well and one thing to point out is how Jesus touched people that are on opposite ends of the spectrum: Luke, a doctor who is writing this gospel, yet never met Jesus face to face, and the shepherds, who saw the baby Jesus and it changed their lives forever! How has Jesus impacted your life? Or has he?
