God had made some amazing promises by the angel Gabriel. He told a childless couple advanced in years that they would have a son. He told a young virgin that she would conceive by the Holy Spirit. This elicited praise. But what’s even more remarkable than promises made are promises kept. Luke records the fulfillment of God’s word with the birth of John the Baptist. Not only did God keep His word to Zechariah and Elizabeth, but to the people of Israel as well. Zechariah blesses God because the birth of John marked the beginning of the fulfillment of God’s promised salvation. That’s a promise for us all; a promise we can live by.
