Episode 95: Luke 1 Part 1 An Introduction to Luke

Luke says he has checked out other people’s accounts about Jesus and how they compared. He said he investigated them going all the way back to the beginning and not only that but he used eyewitness accounts from the early disciples when he wrote his gospel. Why? “…so you can be certain of the truth of everything you were taught.” In other words. Luke is meticulous with his writings therefore his readers, even 2000 years later, can trust what he says is true. The question is: What are you going to do with what he writes? Believe it? ? Or reject it? In his details Luke mention Zechariah has a conversation with the angel Gabriel as he is doing his priestly duties in the Temple. I briefly talk about angels because we have the wrong idea about what angels look like. We usually picture them as men-like figures with wings and when a certain holiday comes around we picture a baby with wings shooting arrows. You may be surprised to learn what angels really look like!
