Katy reflects on Zechariah’s song in Luke 1 to reveal the nature of God’s love as it is unveiled in the Advent story. The passage shows a movement from silence to praise as Zechariah, disciplined through waiting and unbelief, emerges with renewed faith that treats God’s promises as already fulfilled; his song places personal blessing within a much larger redemptive story centered on God’s covenant faithfulness, the coming Messiah, and the role of John as a preparer rather than the focus. The love described is portrayed as stronger than human weakness, pictured through the “horn of salvation” that signals God’s power to rescue, defeat evil, and free people from fear so they can live in holiness. This love is also attentive and enduring, marked by God’s decision to “visit” His people after generations of silence, not merely arriving to rescue but remaining present. The progression of the Holy Spirit’s work—from coming upon individuals, to being with God’s people in Jesus, and ultimately dwelling within them—underscores that divine love is active, personal, and lasting, guiding people out of darkness into peace and anchoring hope in a future secured by God rather than by self-sufficiency.
