2nd Sunday of Advent
Zechariah’s Prophecy
Luke 1:
Intro
Zechariah and Elizabeth
who are they?
They are older
Zechariah is a priest
Elizabeth is somehow related to Mary, Cousin, could be an aunt,
Zechariah is made mute and more than likely also made deaf by the angel for his unbelief.
His unbelief however did not stop the power of the prophecy.
He would remain silent until the boy was to be named and circumcised 8 days after his birth (according to ).
On that day Zechariah names the boy John and offers these words found in the first chapter of Luke
Luke 1:68
68-75 —> aren’t even about John they are words about Jesus.
Zechariah praises God because he knows the Messiah is coming.
He also knows this Messiah is not his son.
76-79
76 —> child, not son.
Our relationship to God is more important than our relationship to anyone on earth.
77 —> Salvation is being made possible.
We need it for the forgiveness of our sins.
“Forgiveness is not so much the remission of penalty as the restoration of relationship.”
78—> light brings hope.
Darkness can not overcome the light no matter how hard it tries.
Peace is not just freedom from worry or troubles.
This peace in Hebrew is God bringing about our highest good.
God allows us through the work of Christ to walk in ALL the ways that bring life, and no longer the ways that bring death.
