Verses Covered
Bible - Luke 1:57-79
Spark Bible - pages 209 to 211
Devotion: In this passage, Zechariah and Elizabeth have a baby, who they give the name John. Zechariah is so filled with happiness and the Holy Spirit that he praises God to everyone in the temple, telling them in song that Jesus is coming, just as God promised, and will do great things and give us the courage to do great things. He sings to his son, John, telling him that he would pave the road for Jesus, telling everyone about all the great things Jesus will do. That reminds us of the song lyrics in the church hymn, Sing A New Song:
Sing A New Song Unto The Lord
Let The Song Be Sung From Mountain High
Sing A New Song Unto The Lord
Singing Alleluia.
Zechariah was so happy that God gave him a son, and that Jesus the Messiah was coming that he just wanted to shout it from the rooftop!
Question: Do you ever feel so happy that you just want to sing out loud? How does singing make you feel?
Prayer: God, we thank you for the joy and blessings associated with the birth of John and Jesus. Help us to extend Zechariah's love and wonderment to all God’s children.
