Dear Friend of God, Luke 1:1-25 NT S1:E70
Luke's gospel begins not with the miraculous conception of Jesus, but the conception of John the Baptist. John's righteous parents were blessed with a miraculous conception, as they were well past the age of child birth. Luke makes poignant connections between the Old and New Testaments, seeing God's promises being fulfilled by John's miraculous conception.
