Vox Noel – Luke
Having listened to the voices of the prophets and last week heard from Matthew, we now travel to Luke to hear his take on the Christmas story. You’ll notice that we passed right over the book of Mark as it doesn’t even mention the birth story of Christ.
Linus and the Peanuts gang brought Luke chapter two into the cultural spotlight and serves to provide a frame of reference for people who are not overly familiar with the Bible. We know about stars, angels, shepherds…the basics of the story. Have you ever really thought about what a non-Jewish believer in Jesus (Luke) was trying to communicate to a non-Jewish audience? That is going to be our goal this coming Sunday.
