3 Pastor s Note Dear Ones, To things jump out at me regarding story John Baptist. The first is that first ords Gabriel (God s messenger) ere Do not be afraid first ords Gospel spoken from God. Second, is that Zechariah as not only mute, but apparently deaf for duration and more Elizabeth s pregnancy. A little silence goes along ay. His hymn praise is one most beautiful in Scriptures.

And He said to m, I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover ith you before I suffer. For I tell you, I ill not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in kingdom God. After taking cup, He gave thanks and said, Take this and divide it among you. For I tell you I ill not drink again fruit vine until kingdom God comes.
