The Voice in Our Wilderness | Luke 3: 1--9 | Pastor Joey Zorina
Luke now takes us to the political and religious scene in Israel. God’s people, by this time, were under the Roman Emperor, Tiberius Caesar. As they were conquered, Israel did not have their own kings during this time. Rather, Rome had appointed certain men and their families as regional rulers. So as Israel was waiting for the long awaited Messiah “the word of God” came in an obscure place—in the wilderness. Here in our passage, we see:- a) God’s word in our wilderness, b) God’s way in our wilderness c) God’s grace in our wilderness.
