Luke continues his account with the preparation by John the Baptist for the coming of the Messiah. John is preaching and calling for the people to repent and seek the forgiveness of God. As a sign of their genuine repentance, he calls them to be baptized. Luke makes the connection of the ministries of John the Baptist and Jesus and points to John the Baptist as the fulfillment of the promise of God to send a Messiah!
Luke writes to strengthen believers, to address misperceptions of unbelievers, while emphasizing the divine and perfect human aspects of Jesus’ life! Jesus alone is the Lord and Redeemer of all humanity! He offers us the assurance that God is at work, accomplishing his purposes, that Jesus is God incarnate and that true followers of Jesus are in reality the people of God, that the Holy Spirit is essential for our every response and action and that no matter who you are or where you’re from Jesus died to rescue you! Jesus is the fulfillment of all the promises of God and though every promise is not yet realized, we can be certain that one day they will be! Luke writes to give certainty and assurance to believers – you can be certain that everything about Jesus is true!
