Luke 1:1-25
Zechariah and his wife were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and statues of the Lord.
Elizabeth will bear Zechariah a son, and you call his name John. And you will have joy and gladness and many will rejoice at his birth.
John will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God,and 1)go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, 2)to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and 3)the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to 4)make ready for the Lord a people prepared. The mission of student of Daniel College: Persistence, love, wisdom and teaching(or witness).
Zechariah said to the angel,"How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years." The angel answered him " behold, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time."
He will be great before the Lord. And he must not drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
Why?
Righteous man is walking blamelessly in all the commandments of the Lord.
The Lord can do anything beyond the human being can understand. Beyond our age, when the Lord does great things. To be His servant has not limitation in age.
The mission of John is our mission also to preach gospel to people.
John: God is full of grace.
John has strength form the Holy Spirit, his strength is not from wine or flesh.
Only God can give us the joy and gladness.
How?
Serve the Lord is not limited by the age but with the power of Holy Spirit. Do no frustrate or look down our service before the Lord. He is my Master, my king, when the Lord permitted who can stop it.
