Luke 2:38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

This is spoken of the widow Anna who had come into the temple at the time when Joseph and Mary had come to offer the required sacrifice for Jesus when He was eight days old. She is described as a prophetess, and she recognized Jesus as the Messiah. Not only did she rejoice in the pleasure of getting to see Him for herself, but she also told those that were looking for redemption about Him.

Anna is a great example for all who love the Lord. Once we have seen our Savior, not only should we be ecstatic over seeing Him, but we should be excited to share His gospel with others who desire redemption from their sins.

Luke 2:12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

This was a sign that Jesus was the Messiah. There were many signs that testified of this; but to my knowledge, none of them were grand and glorious in the eyes of the world. His first crib was a cattle manger; He had no beauty that we should desire Him (Is. 53:2); He was meek and lowly (Matt. 11:29). Yet in all of this, He has a loveliness and gloriousness that cannot be approached. They day will come when even the eyes of the world must acknowledge this to be so and the eyes of the redeemed already marvel and rejoice in His glory.

Luke 1:17 And he shall go before Him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

This was spoken of John the Baptist prior to his conception. He was going to be blessed with “the spirit and power of Elias” [Elijah]. The result of this is that hearts would be turned. This was a wonderful thing and a wonderful time, but it was not a unique experience that was limited to John the Baptist.

While these turnings of hearts typically occur in connection with an exposure to God’s message, these changes are not the result of the work of the messenger. No, it is the Holy Spirit who turns hearts, or opens hearts (Acts 16:14); in short, it is the Holy Spirit that changes hearts (Ezek. 36:26).

I am happy to report that the Holy Spirit is still at work turning the hearts of fathers to their children, and the hearts of the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; yes, the Holy Spirit is still making ready a people prepared for their Lord.

Luke 1:13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard…

What a wonderful statement: “thy prayer is heard.” Child of God, have you not experienced this, have you not been told that your prayer has been heard? Maybe it wasn’t an angel that told you, maybe there wasn’t even an audible voice involved; but haven’t you had times when you have prayed and prayed and prayed, or maybe, just prayed, and then you realized that your prayer had been heard? How did you know your prayer had been heard; probably, because it had been answered.

Dear one, you serve a God who hears and answers prayers. Isn’t that an exceedingly wonderful thing?

Luke 1:1-4 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.

I so appreciate Luke’s desire to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with others. I also appreciate that Luke was glad that others had done the same.

Luke addressed his gospel to one named Theophilus. The name Theophilus is a combination of two Greek words: Theos and philo. Theos is the Greek word for God. Philo is a Greek word for love, in particular the love of a friend. So Theophilus means a friend of God or one who loves God. I have often wondered if there actually was an individual named Theophilus, or if Luke intended that he was writing his gospel to any and all who loved the Lord. In either case, I am very thankful that Luke’s gospel, as well as all of God’s word, was written with such passion for all who love the Lord.

Mark 16:20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

And so it is, those who have been called to preach the gospel are to preach it everywhere. They are not to decide who should get to hear the gospel and who shouldn’t; rather, they are to preach whenever there is the opportunity to do so.

Neither is it in their hands to determine the effectiveness of the preached word. That is not their concern; the benefit of the preached word to the hearer is determined by the Lord working with the preacher and confirming the word.

Have you been set aside to preach the gospel? Then preach the word, be instant in season, and out of season (I Tim. 4:2); it is God who will give the increase (II Cor. 3:6). If you have not been called to such a duty, then pray for those who have that they will be bold to follow this example (Eph. 6:19).

Mark 16:15-16 And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

There are some clear, simple truths shown us in this passage. First, we are to preach the gospel. We are not to preach it secretly, but we are to preach it freely. This is clear from the command to go into all the world and preach it; and from the command to preach the gospel to every creature, or all of creation. It is not for us to decide who should have the gospel preached to them; rather, we should preach it to any who are willing to listen.

Secondly, we don’t preach the gospel in order to save a person, but to find those who have been saved. Maybe I should acknowledge that this point is not so clearly discerned from this passage, though it seems clear to me given what we have just seen about preaching the gospel freely combined with the statement of verse 16.

Thirdly, all persons fall into one of two categories, either they will be saved or they will be damned. The distinction between the two is belief. Those who believe will be saved (in truth, are being saved); and those who don’t, look for a certain fiery indignation.
