THE JOY OF CHRISTMAS

12/12/2021

1 Comment

 
When John the Baptist was born, his Father Zechariah who could now speak after being unable to speak for about a year, had this joyous prophecy to share with his friends:-

"Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for He has looked favourably on His people and redeemed them. He has raised up a Mighty Saviour for us in the house of His servant David as He spoke through the mouth of His holy prophets from of old, that we should be saved from  our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us.

"Thus He has shown the mercy promised to our ancestors and has remembered His holy covenant, the oath which He swore to our ancestor Abraham to grant us that we, being rescued from the hands of our enemies might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him all our days.

"And you child, will be called the prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to prepare His ways, to give knowledge of salvation to His people, by the forgiveness of their sins.

"By the tender mercy of our God, the dawn from on high will break upon us to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and guide our feet into the way of peace."

​This is the message of Christmas!

    I have always loved telling Bible stories, especially those from the Old Testament. For the past 25 years I have been teaching Religious Education in the local State School.  Each time I revisit these stories, I still find there's something more for me to learn. That's what I find so refreshing about the bible.
