This week, we focus on the forgiveness of God, restoration, and redemption. Zechariah doesn’t believe and loses the ability to talk. Mary isn’t believed and nearly divorce and publicly shamed. They are both given a restoration and sing a poetic song of praise. Throughout the Bible, God’s generous with forgiveness and restoration. We talk about the coming of the Messiah is to renew all things, restore humanity and the planet toward the Eden ideal.
