KEY SCRIPTURES: Luke 1:67-79
MAIN IDEA: When we see God’s faithfulness, our hearts overflow with words of hope.
- Zechariah had been silent for months because of his unbelief yet when he saw God’s promise fulfilled through John’s birth, his first words were a prophecy of praise.
- His once-silent voice becomes a prophetic witness to God’s redeeming work.
- His “Benedictus” celebrates that God has remembered His covenant, raised up salvation, and brought light to those in darkness.
- Zechariah’s song bridges the Old and New Testaments by praising and celebrating the faithfulness of God who keeps His promises from generation to generation.
- True hope transforms the way we talk. Truly our voice changes. Hope turns silence and doubt into praise and witness.
