It is worth noting that St. Luke provides specific details as to political and religious climate of the period. Our Saviour – God, really and truly enters into our human history in flesh and blood, at a very concrete moment in time. This same Lord desires to dwell with each of us, to be really, truly, intimately, and personally united with you and me, without exception. Only He can bring the mountains low, fill the valleys, and make crooked paths straight.
