Summary

This week, as the historical details surrounding the entrance of God into human history as Jesus Christ unfolds, we are introduced to some rich personalities. Herod is the definition of pride and power. Elizabeth and Zechariah are the picture of humility and integrity. And, God works through natural means (the dice roll in Zechariah’s favor) and supernatural means (sending the angel Gabriel) to accomplish his will. All of this is to set the stage for the coming of John the Baptizer who leads the parade preparing the people for the coming of his cousin Jesus.

0:33.9	If you've got a Bible, go to Luke chapter 1, we're looking at the entrance of Jesus in
0:40.1	the human history. And it's really interesting because we are the only species that tells stories.
0:46.5	And we tell stories to make sense of our life. And God being so good and gracious to us,
0:52.3	he gives us his word and his word really is, it's one big story. And then as we read that one
0:58.3	big story, we see little stories of people and circumstances. And then that helps us to interpret
1:04.2	our life in light of God's story and our place in his history. And so what we are studying is the
1:11.0	entrance of Jesus in the human history. And we will do so over the course of this holiday season
1:17.5	in Luke chapters 1 and 2. And he is the great historical storyteller of the New Testament.

1:29.0	the people surrounding the entrance of Jesus that we wouldn't know about if he hadn't recorded them.
1:34.6	So we'll jump right into Luke chapter 1 verses 5 through 10, where we see that God should be our
1:40.3	only king. So here we go. In the days of Herod. Now, Herod's a bad guy. He comes from this family
1:46.6	line called the Edomites. They descend from this guy named Esau way back in the Old Testament.
1:51.6	And they're always warring against God's people. This is like the Hatfills and the McCoy's. There's
