Advent 2024 - #2 - Zechariah's Song of Love

Passage: Luke 1:67-80

Speaker: Brian Land

Series: Advent 2024

Category: Grace Brevard

Keywords: love, christmas, advent, peace

Last week we saw that the Lord was “re-locating” everything back together (peace). This week we look at how the entire history of redemption has had many turns and surprises, but has also perfectly led to this exact point, where God’s Love, literally manifested in His Son, comes down to re-make us into His Beloved.

CENTRAL PASSAGE:

Luke 1:68
67 And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying,

68 “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel,
for he has visited and redeemed his people
69 and has raised up a horn of salvation for us
in the house of his servant David,
70 as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old,
71 that we should be saved from our enemies
and from the hand of all who hate us;
72 to show the mercy promised to our fathers
and to remember his holy covenant,
73 the oath that he swore to our father Abraham, to grant us
74 that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies,
might serve him without fear,
75 in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
76 And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High;
for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways,
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people
in the forgiveness of their sins,
78 because of the tender mercy of our God,
whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high
79 to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the way of peace.”

80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
