Presented by Pastor ustin !reene "#to$er 1%& 2'1(
Lukes writing includes both a touch of artistry and the very evident influence of his medical background. Herod, the king of Judea, he writes; then, alongside that name of horror, he uts a certain riest named !acharias, of the course of "bia. #ould the contrast be greater $ the one a monster of ini%uity, the other a man of integrity& 't is the skilled touch of the artist to ut two such men in the same sentence. (ne of these men was a vicious rince; the other man was a virtuous riest. (ne was a man of e)traordinary talent, drive and wickedness; the other was a retiring and godly old man. (ne of them hated *od; the other loved Him. (ne was a man who murdered his sons, his own favorite wife, and countless other victims as well; the other was a gentle minister of the sanctuary. (ne was an 'dumean, a descendent of +sau; the other was a Jew, a descendant of Jacob, +saus twin. (ne was a foreign,born usurer; the other was a native,born citi-en of 'srael. (ne was a member of an alien and hostile race; the other was a Levite, the tribe that furnished 'srael with its riests. (ne man gave 'srael a scorions nest of sons to lague and torment them; the other gave 'srael a son, set aart from birth to become the *od,sent herald of the .essiah. (ne was Herod, the king of Judea /thanks to the 0omans1; the other was a certain man named !acharias, of the course of "bia. 2
'n Luke, chater 2, *od reaches down and uts a divine highlighter in the historians hand. 3he life filled with ower, restige and ublic relations was set aside as *od brings to our attention a life marked by rayer.
