John the Baptists knew the supremacy of Christ. Our text is Luke’s transition from John the Baptist’s important ministry to that of our Lord Jesus. In it, the supremacy of Jesus, the Christ, The Father’s beloved Son, is plainly evident. How?

  1. Christ Alone Possesses Spiritual Power
  2. Christ is Worthy of Life-Endangering Persecution
  3. Christ is Beloved of God

As the Baptist entered the scene, a general spirit of rank sinfulness had settled over Israel, especially among the spiritual leadership. What was John’s prophetic ministry to the Jewish people to help them get ready for Christ? This morning , I want us to see three important aspects of John’s message, all of which still have important instruction for us today.

  1. Repent of Sin
  2. Prepare for Christ
  3. Bear Fruit

The structure of the end of Luke 2 is vital to understand the text as a whole. The story is buttressed by two similar summaries about the boyhood of Christ . These two similar summary statements are the key to our understanding of Jesus. Then to further press home the point, Luke gives us a real-life example of the point he is making.

  1. The Human Growth of Christ
  2. The Father’s Grace Upon Christ
  3. An Example from Christ’s Life

This Passage is about the hope that Jesus brings as a former age is being brought to an end, and a new age is about to begin. Here emblems of an old age passing away are brought face to face with Jesus. Some of these emblems have to do with the Law: circumcision, purification, consecration, and even the temple itself. Other emblems are seen in the elderly, godly saints and their satisfaction in Christ.

(last week) 1. The name of Jesus

(this week)2. The Consolation of Israel

3. The Redemption of Israel

When we read Luke 2, we think of the Christmas story. As we read these verses carefully, however, we soon find out that the text is as much about the word of the Lord as it is about anything else. The significance about who Jesus is comes not from the experience in time. The real significance is about who this baby s comes from what the divine herald told the shepherds about this baby.

This passage is indeed an account of the birth of births, the coming of the son of sons. Gabriel said that of this baby that he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end. Yet his birth is more in line with the humility of Mary sung in the Magnificat in chapter 1.

  1. The Haughtiness of the Roman Caesar
  2. The Hand of the Sovereign God
  3. The Humility of the Davidic King

Luke gives at least two important lessons from the birth of John. I hope as we consider this passage that our own faith in Christ will be strengthened like that of Zachariah’s.

  1. Zechariah’s faith
  2. Zechariah’s Prophecy

In this text we have not one but two women prophesying God’s Word for the world. God uses these two very different women to teach the truth about Jesus Christ. The Spirit wants us to listen to them. Yet what really shines here is the exuberant joy shared by these two women over Christ.

  1. Elizabeth’s Joyful Blessings
  2. Mary’s Joyful Praise

Last week, we looked at Gabriel’s announcement of the birth of John the Baptist yo Zachariah. This passage, where the birth the Christ is announced to he virgin Mary, is known to Christians as the annunciation. As Luke tells us of the annunciation, there are three central lessons important for us to notice.

The opening story to Luke’s gospel is one where the people of Israel were in a kind of “dark ages” marked by silence from the Lord. Then the Lord bursts into the nations life with a scene that sounds very much like the lords intervention with Abraham nearly 20000 Earlier. There are three important themes in this passage that Luke wants us to see:

  1. The miraculous birth of John
  2. The ministry of John
  3. The unbelief of Zechariah
