The rising sun will come to us from heaven

Luke 1:57-80
After John was born, Zechariah agreed his son's name is John. Immediately his mouth was opened ad his tongue was loosed, and he began to speak, praising God.
His father Zechariah's was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied.
You my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him, to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins.
Because of the tender of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven.
Prophetic song make a deep impression on the people around. Great things are now expected of John.
Why?
Both John and Jesus were 'honed' for their ministry.
The desert had long been associated with prophetic inspiration. In John's time, the Essene community had its base in the Judea desert close to the northern end of the Dead sea.
God's word are fulfilled in Zechariah and Elizabeth.
John will be a prophet of the Lord and prepare the way for him. His missionary is announce by his father with Holy Spirit.
God's love is like the rising sun come to us, the light shines on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace. How wonderful of God's love.
How?
Praise the Lord for his love and his Almighty power and his faithfulness.
