After centuries of silence, God begins to speak again through the birth of John the Baptist and the prophetic praise of his father, Zachariah. In this sermon from Luke 1:57–80, we see God faithfully fulfilling His promises, stirring joy among His people, and preparing the way for the coming Messiah. From the mercy displayed in John’s birth to the Spirit-filled announcement of salvation in the Benedictus, Luke points us to Christ—the Sunrise from on high—who brings light to those in darkness and guides our feet into the way of peace. This message calls us to rejoice in God’s faithfulness and rest in the certainty that His redemptive purposes are unfolding exactly as He promised.
