Our sermon series in Judges left us in a very bleak place. When everybody did what he/she wanted, everything seemed to fall apart. As we enter into the Christmas season, we are reminded even more from Judges how much we need a Savior, how much we need Jesus. However, before we even get to the story of Jesus, Luke tells us the story about a family with a boy named John. What's so important about John? It is through John and his story, we see how we are to anticipate the coming of the Savior Jesus with a joy that changes our lives.
