generous giving of +ods %eo%le. Cou will notice that we do not

LUKE
Part 3
Luke 1:5-25
A Forgotten Prayer Comes to Life



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.

'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.



)ACK*+"P



Luke starts by highlighting (ld 3estament romises
fu,fi,,e-.


!acharias name 4 5ahweh has remem$ere- again.


+li-abeths name 4 .y *od is /my1 fortune, fullness.


./E L0FE "F A F"+!"..E1 P+A2E+



*od oerates in, and insires, a culture of 3rayer
/+)odus 67869,6:; Leviticus 2782,9; ;salm 2928<;
0evelation =8:; :86,91.








*od answers rayer at the rig4t time. *od met them
when8

3heir youthful 3rayer had been forgotten.





3heir sense of anti#i3ation had been relaced
with -oing ,ife.






*ods answers go beyond what we ask or t4ink.

John would be great ... /megas1 /Luke >8<:1.





He would 3artia,,y fu,fi,, an (ld 3estament
romise /.alachi 98=,?1.





*ods answers are often met with -ou$t.

3his is #ommon.



@oubt has #onse5uen#es.



*od is fait4fu, even when we are fait4,ess.



Aote8 6u$missi7e si,en#e often builds anti#i3ation.

*od moves for the $enefit of all ... yet His activity is
3ersona,.
