Luke 3:1-22
This section of Luke names the civic leaders and locates this passage in history with the details common to the writer Luke, who was a physician. It describes the ministry of John the Baptist, including his baptizing Jesus. Last night at the “Christ in the Passover” presentation by Dan Sered he mentioned the fifth cup, ready for Elijah. Messianic (Christian) Jews recognize that Elijah has already come in the person of John the Baptist.
I had a most interesting visit with Dan yesterday over lunch, discussing God’s will, modern Israel, modern Judaism, and his own experience of faith in Christ. It increased my desire to visit Israel, and to learn more about the entire Middle East –politics, history, geography, and religion.
Thank you Lord for John the Baptist and his obedience to your will in his life. May I live today with boldness and complete trust in your will and purposes in my life.
