Just like Elijah in the Old Testament, John the Baptist lives in the wilderness until he begins his ministry (Luke 1:80). Why is that detail important? Because Luke is showing us that the Gospel is the continuation of Israel's story--God made promises to Abraham, and he is fulfilling them through Jesus.

Today’s Scripture:

Luke 1:57-80
