Luke wrote his gospel so that we can “have certainty” about Jesus Christ, because the stories about Jesus were told by “eyewitnesses” to his life who faithfully delivered these accounts to others (1:1). Luke’s story begins not with Jesus himself, but with Zechariah the priest and his wife Elizabeth. Infertile for years, they then had a miraculous son, John, who later announced the Messiah. Jesus did not arrive in a vacuum; he came to real people who knew him and whose lives were changed. 

As Zechariah said, the “tender mercy of our God” visited the world in Christ, bringing divine light (v78). We too are transformed when Jesus comes to dwell in us by his Spirit, and he shows us the way of peace (v79).
