Matthew 1:18-25

All the great stories in the Bible of characters like Abraham or Daniel, cover a huge timeline in their life. We read of these conversations, visions, dreams with God and think, they are on a regular basis. But the ones recorded often would be 10 or 40 years apart.

Luke 1:1-38

Only Luke and Matthew mention the “conception” story. No one else feels the need to re-affirm that. It was embraced that Jesus is the Son of God.

Luke 1:1-38

Luke knew, again I believe by the power of the Holy Spirit, that this story, this reality needs to be pressed in reality. To that end, watch how Jesus does not appear until verse 30.

The Gospel of Luke is the longest book in the Second Testament, followed quickly by the book of Acts. Not surprisingly they are both written by the medical doctor, Luke, who later became a close companion of the apostle Paul (Colossians 4:14; Philemon 24; 2 Timothy 4:11).
