About this sermon

Luke compares and contrasts many figures in his Gospel and Acts; this comparison begins already in Luke's opening scenes, with Zechariah, John the Baptist's father, and Mary, Jesus's mother. Zechariah is positive, but Mary is even more positive. John is great, and Jesus is even greater.
