—Luke 1:67-79

John’s birth meant that God was working actively to fulfill His promise. Zechariah recognized that God was doing what He had promised and praised Him. Not only did Zachariah praise God for his son, John, but he also pointed to Jesus, the Messiah. John’s job would be to proclaim salvation and Jesus would bring salvation. It is amazing to think that John’s birth was the beginning of the enactment of God’s ultimate plan. All through the Old Testament, prophecies were made and here they were coming to fruition. God is faithful to His promises…on that we can depend!
