Passage: Luke 1:5-25
As Martin Luther was walking home from college, there was a thunder storm. A lightning bolt struck too close to him, and he cried out in fear, declaring that he would become a monk. Fifteen years later, while standing before a council that would decide his fate, he bravely declared, “ I must walk in the fear of the Lord. Here I stand; I can do no other.” Over the course of those 15 years, he changed. What brought about his transformation?
Do you have this confidence? You want it, but then tragedy strikes, and life doesn’t turn out how you had hoped, after a while, you may ask, “God, are you here? Do you care? Are you in control? Do you see?” We want to believe that God is in control, but when people round us are drowning in disappointment and discouragement, we question.
Dr. Luke has made a complete and accurate account of Jesus, so that you may have certainty. (1:4) He wanted to create a rock solid confidence that overcomes the storms of life. How can you have certainty in uncertain times?
