Our text for November 30 is Luke 1:5-25, 26-38. Gabriel announced miraculous births to Zechariah and to Mary. These two announcements provided the foundation for the Gospel of Luke. Both John and Jesus contributed to the history of salvation. John, however, needed that salvation just as we do. But Jesus provided that salvation.
