It proceeds with a barrage of questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first comes from Zechariah: \"\"How shall I know?\"\" (1:18). This is a question of knowledge. The angel Gabriel answers that we shall know by the word of God (1:19).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second comes from Mary: \"\"How will this be?\"\" (1:34). This is a question of agency, of how the Son of God can become human. Gabriel answers that it will be by the power of God (1:35).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe third comes from Elizabeth: \"\"Why me?\"\" (1:43). Why should the gospel of Jesus Christ come to her? Mary answers that it has to do with God's choice, election, mercy, and salvation (1:47-55).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fourth has to do with John: \"\"What then will this child be?\"\" (1:66). Zechariah answers that he will be a prophet (1:76-79). John is not the Christ, but he will go before the Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThus begins the catechism according to Luke, a series of questions in order that we may have certainty concerning the things we have been taught.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9781498268295\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover - 9781498268295","offer_id":51295772742,"sku":"9781498268295","price":65.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/4f098f0a-fff0-48f0-98ec-c0e329dda181.jpg?v=1749701025","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/preaching-through-luke-von-james-c-goodloe-iv","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
