The first in a five-part series on the Gospel of Luke. We explore the amazing events surrounding the birth of Jesus. The humble conditions of his family and their low status in Israelite society foreshadow the upside-down nature of Jesus’ kingdom. Luke-Acts is one Gospel account which tells of the climax of the Bible's overall narrative. These books catalog the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, the savior to whom all of the Old Testament prophecies pointed. Just as importantly, the Gospel also takes great care to point out how Christ fulfilled Old Testament prophecies.
