The word of God did not come to any of the seven powerful men mentioned in Luke 3. It did not come to Tiberius Caesar, it did not come to Pontius Pilate, it did not come to Herod, or Philip the tetrarchs of Galilee and Iturea. It did not come to Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene. The word of God did not even come to Annas, the only high priest who was privileged to enter into the presence of God in the Holy of Holies. The “word of God came to John son of Zachariah.”
