December 15, 2019 • Josh Lindstrom • Luke 1:68–79
Zechariah the priest had been serving the Lord in the temple when the angel of the Lord, Gabriel, announced that his wife would conceive and bear a son named “John” who would be “great before the Lord” and “turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God” (Luke 1:16). Zechariah struggles to believe and is temporarily made deaf and mute until the sign is fulfilled.
When Elizabeth, Zechariah’s wife, delivers their son John, Zechariah’s hearing and speech is restored. Filled with the Holy Spirit, Zechariah prophetically speaks of his son’s future work and the fulfillment of God’s promise to redeem his people. Today, we too declare in faith God’s promised salvation through the work of his son Jesus.
