Luke 1
Historically, Dr. Luke begins his Gospel before the other synoptic Gospels.
Heaven had been silent for over 400 years when the angel Gabriel broke through
the blue at the golden altar of prayer to announce the birth of John the Baptist.
Luke gives us the background as well as the births of John and Jesus. Neither
Joseph nor Mary was God's accidental choice. They both possessed certain noble
human character traits. Joseph was an unselfish, humble and dependable man of
high ideals. Mary possessed the same character traits. She was obedient and
uncomplaining, with a definite knowledge of the Old Testament. Long before medical
science gave any attention to heredity, Dr. Luke placed a great emphasis upon
it.
Dr. Luke makes it abundantly clear that Jesus is virgin born. No other conclusion
can be drawn from the definite, direct, and dogmatic statements of the angel
Gabriel to Mary. Until man knows more about the origin of life, he is in no
position, scientifically, to refute dogmatically the statement of Dr. Luke.
A true scientific approach is that of humble inquiry and patience.
Three songs are in this chapter:
- Elisabeth's greeting of Mary, vv.
42-45;
- The magnificat of Mary, vv.
46-55;
- The prophecy of Zacharias, vv.
67-79.
