Luke 1:68-75 “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, because he has come to help and has redeemed his people. For he has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David, as he spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from long ago, that we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us. He has done this to show mercy to our ancestors, and to remember his holy covenant— the oath that he swore to our ancestor Abraham. This oath grants that we, being rescued from the hand of our enemies, may serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him for as long as we live. John the Baptist has just been born and Zechariah confirms the babys name by writing His name is John on a tablet. Zechariah was silenced by the angel Gabriel from the announcement of Johns birth until right now, when God chooses to fill Zechariah with the Holy Spirit to prophesy about Christs coming. Through this time of silence, God has prepared a powerful purpose for Zechariahs returned voice. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28 NIV)
