Operation Verification, Part 1
(Luke 2:21-40, Matthew 1:19-20, Luke 1:38, 46-55, Exodus 4:21-24, Genesis 17:7-9, 10-14)
According to The American Press Institute, the essence of journalism is the discipline of verification. In other words, the foundational principle for reporting hinged on a “consistent method of testing information… precisely so that personal and cultural biases would not undermine the accuracy of the work.” Today we will see how Luke’s methodology in writing “an orderly account” (1:3) of the life of Jesus is both objective and reliable.
