THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO LUKE · STUDY 01
Luke 1:1–80
God Prepares the Way for the Savior
A Guided Journey Through Scripture
UNDERSTANDING LUKE 1
The Story Begins
Luke opens his Gospel by explaining why he wrote and then takes us into the events surrounding the births of John the Baptist and Jesus.
God begins fulfilling promises made long before these events. An angel announces the coming births, Mary responds to God’s message, and Zechariah praises God for His faithfulness.
As you read, notice how God is preparing the way for Jesus and keeping His promises to His people.
God faithfully keeps His promises and prepares the way for the coming Savior.
