INTRO: In this series of messages we are following in chronological fashion the life of Christ, or the good news of the Messiah. We were introduced to the whole account of the life of Christ by Luke and John. We then went to Luke and he gave us a lot of detail on the conception of John the Baptist, the promised forerunner of Christ. He then told us of the conception of Jesus Christ, some six months after the conception of John the Baptist. Shortly after this, Mary went to visit Elizabeth. Here we have an elderly woman who is miraculously expecting, and a young woman who is also miraculously expecting, and they both understand each other and are a comfort to one another.
But now Elizabeth is about to be delivered and she will have a lot of company, and Mary knows it will be in both their best interests that she should now leave, and go back home. Luke, in his Gospel will now give us some of the historical events surrounding John the Baptist's birth. After John is born, Zacharias, filled with the Holy Spirit, gives an amazing prophecy. And we will be looking at those two points this morning.
