Luke 1:1-25

Now we've moved from Genesis to Luke. Luke's gospel was written by Luke, a physician, who was interested in learning the truth and making that truth known. As we go through this gospel, Luke will help you to better know who Jesus is and what Jesus has done for you.

Genesis 28:10-22 The Lord God stood at the top of the ladder/stairway and Jacob was at the bottom, while angels went up and down the ladder/stairway.  But what is the stairway? Jesus answers that question in John 1:51. And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” Jesus is the way to heaven! He is the one through whom we have access to God and by whom God comes to us and blesses us.

It's amazing, but it is true. I love how Luther explains this in the catechism. Our Father who art in heaven. What does this mean?  With these words God tenderly invites us to believe that He is our true Father and that we are His true children, so that with all boldness and confidence we may ask Him as dear children ask their dear father. You get to approach God as your Father, so why don't you make sure you take the time to do so today?
