While Luke wasn’t an apostle, he determined to provide an orderly account of Jesus’ life based on true, historical facts, not poetical speculation. His Gospel includes unique details, like Zechariah’s experience as priest and father to John the Baptist—the one who would prepare the way for the long-awaited Messiah. Alistair Begg walks us through Zechariah’s prophecy in Luke 1, focusing on the source, reality, and purpose of God’s promised salvation. Because of His mercy, light shines into darkened hearts, sins are forgiven, and true peace can be enjoyed.
