December 20th, 2020 – 4th Sunday Advent
Luke 1:26-38 – Luke is one of the three synoptic gospels, with its own distinctive point of view on the well-known events of Jesus’ birth, life, death, and resurrection. Luke speaks as one learned and literate Greek to another. Because of the busy and image-rich Christmas holidays full of nativity plays and decorations — many of which combine Matthew’s wise men with Luke’s shepherds — it is easy to miss Luke’s distinctive theological voice and contribution to the season of Advent.
