December 22, 2025 - Good Morning! It’s Monday, December 22.
As a student of the Bible, wouldn’t you be thrilled to have the chance to sit down with a Bible character and interview them? What would you ask Moses? What questions would you have for Paul? This morning we focus on a man who may very well have had just such an opportunity. Today we look at Luke.
Luke was a physician and was highly educated for his time. He was a man of details, an historian of sorts. Luke was a valued associate of the Apostle Paul, and travelled with him on several of his missionary journeys. One of those journeys was to the city of Ephesus, and here’s where our story gets interesting. It is thought, by many Bible scholars, that one of the residents of Ephesus was none other than Mary, the mother of Jesus.
Did Luke have the chance to interview Mary? If so, it would explain why Luke’s gospel contains the most information about the birth of Christ. It would explain how he could write phrases like, “but Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart”.
Take a moment during this week of Christmas to reread the Christmas Story in Luke. And, as you do, try to imagine that those beautiful words are coming . . . from Mary.
Meet you back here tomorrow,
David
