This song began from the heart of a man who was struck dumb by the prophecy of God. The father of John the Baptist had his lifetime moment in the sun – called to be High Priest in the Temple. While serving the angel Gabriel came and told him what was to come. Zechariah was doubtful and stunned into silence – until he acted in faith and was obedient to the prophecy. Sunday we will hear his first words of praise and promise! I am using an old method to break down his song – Who, What, Why, When, Where and How. Don't miss this second song of Luke – Zechariah reveals the real power of faith that flows from the incarnation – Light – Life – Love. These are the true gifts of Christmas and the reasons for our joy!
