Luke opens his narrative with the
announcements of the birth of John and Jesus. The announcements have much in
common. The parallels are:
God’s
initiative in action 1:11; 1:26
Instruction
not to fear 1:13,
1:30
Revelation
about the birth 1:16, 1:31
Task
of the Child 1:15,
1:31-32
Gabriel
Message 1:19, 1:66
Confirmation 1:19, 1:35
The announcements
of the birth of John and Jesus speak of God’s renewed activity and fulfillment
of His promise.
