Luke 1:57-80

Thoughts: Remember back in Luke 1:5-20 when Zechariah didn’t believe what the angel said about he and his wife having a baby? Because they were too old? And remember when the angel said Zechariah wouldn’t be able to talk until the child was born? Well, now that’s happened. John the Baptist is born. Yes, Zechariah messed up, but he was given a second chance. That’s what God is all about. We mess up. We sin against Him. But is more about second chances than being angry at us. Ask God how He can give you a second chance in an area of your life that may need forgiving.

Key phrases: His name is John; and he (Zechariah) began to speak praising God

Memory Verse: Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has visited and redeemed His people. Luke 1: 68
