Luke 1:1-2 Greek Translation: “[For as much] as may be taken in hand to set forth in order as a detailed account the declaration of those things most surely believed with an ample and complete account confirmed with the fullest evidence and fully proved to be fully persuaded these things did occur! Even they brought forth many eye witnesses and ministers under authority of the intelligent spoken words of these events.” Comment: Luke the beloved disciple and a physician would be concerned with details! This was not a Democrat investigation with fake news! It was authenticated with facts and eye-witness accounts! It was not a phony he said she said scheme! There is ample evidence to support the account! Luke was proclaiming these events that took place in history! There is a lot of history that is bad but these events are our hope for mankind! This is a historical record established both by government and citizen reports! This is established not by just one eye witness but through many documented sources! The political leader of Judea King Herod confirmed these reports! When the caravan of wise men from the east arrived at Jerusalem Herod knew something was up! They did not travel by camel all the way from Persia for their health! The Roman soldiers ordered to slay the babies at Bethlehem knew something was up? There were too many eye-witnesses to discount this event! In Jewish Law it took at least two witnesses to verify an account! Here there were a multitude of witnesses! From the Angels in Heaven to the government leaders to the shepherds above the hills of Bethlehem! From the Inn keeper to the owner of the manger! No one could dispute the facts! The evidence was overwhelming! The Prophets of the Old Testament prophesied this event hundreds of years before! The ball got rolling in real time when Caesar decided to tax the world! Surely he was a Democrat! It was not fair that Jesus would end up with all the silver and gold! Caesar wanted gifts under his Christmas Tree! He looked out of his Palace window across his Empire and thought if I could get a buck out of each of the peasants in my Empire I would be rich! Did God put this idea in his head? Caesar meant it for evil but God meant it for good! Without the decree of Caesar Joseph and Mary would have never left Nazareth to go to Bethlehem and the Old Testament Prophets who told us that the Christ would be born in Bethlehem hundreds of years before would have been wrong! The wealth of the wicked is laid up for the righteous! Herod tried to stop the birth of Christianity! Trump the leader of the Christian movement is trying to be stopped by another government! Our own government! The battle goes on and has for ages but Christ has won! Writers over thousands of years have spoken about the Christmas story! Hopefully I have contributed a small part in that today! Merry Christmas! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
