1 ST. MARON MARONITE CATHOLIC CHURCH The Birth of John the Baptist pg. 48 December 9, 2018 The Birth and Naming of John With the birth of John, God continues to fulfill what he promised in Luke 1:5-25. As the promise of God moves ahead, God shows he will bring his word to pass and teaches some personal lessons as well. The most important lesson is that even the pious must learn to wait on God's timing and ways. As in Luke 1:39-56, where there was a meeting (1:39-45) and then a hymn (1:46-56), John's birth is followed by a hymn. In each case the hymn details the significance of the previous event. The difference is that Mary's hymn focused on how God deals with his people, while Zechariah's hymn will highlight the main players who bring such blessing on humanity. John s Birth (1:57-58) When Elizabeth bears a son, all those around her hear that the Lord had shown her great mercy. Though these events are cosmic in their reach, they involve the divinity's personal touch. God has shown his mercy and magnified it to Elizabeth. Those who had shared her pain now rejoice with her. God's mercy expresses itself in concrete, loving action. According to custom, the circumcision and naming of the child follow. Though children were often named at birth in the Old Testament, it appears that sometimes such naming was associated with circumcision. The presence of the parents at circumcision shows them as pious, law-abiding Jews. Many features of the naming of John are surprising. The crowd fully expects custom to be followed. They wish the child to be named Zechariah. Children were often named after fathers or grandfathers. Elizabeth rejects the crowd's desire and goes her own way. The name she chooses is the one the angel gave Zechariah in verse 13. The text is silent on how she knew this name, but that detail is unimportant. The choice of the surprising name indicates that a major lesson of obedience has been learned. And as noted above, when God names a child, that child is significant in his plan. The protest of the crowd shows that they are unaware of what God is doing. Surely the father of the house will not sanction this breaking of custom. So they motion to Zechariah to find out what the name of the child should be. Their signing to Zechariah indicates that he is both deaf and mute. The reply comes on a wooden tablet covered with wax. By repeating the name his wife gave, Zechariah echoes the instructions of the angel, not the crowd and custom. He goes the way of God and amazes his neighbors. His obedience yields additional reward: his tongue is loosed immediately and judgment ends. Just as the angel promised in Luke 1:20, the temporary situation of silence ends with the fulfillment of God's word. The point of the linkage is not to be missed: believe and know that God fulfills his promises. The event has three unusual features: (1) the old have given birth, (2) the child has a strange name, and (3) Zechariah's handicap is taken away, whereupon he launches into praise about what God is doing. Such remarkable events cause the crowd to fear and reflect. Something different and surprising is happening, things worth remembering and considering. So they wonder, "What then is this child going to be?" Luke wants his readers to consider the same question. The story's close indicates that the Lord's hand was with him. When God's hand is mentioned, usually an opportunity for deliverance is around the corner And Zechariah, in his silence, has learned to believe God. With John, God has prepared the way for his promise. God's ways were not traditional or what had been culturally expected, but they were his ways nonetheless. Sometimes going God's way means going against the grain of our culture. Rev. Msgr. Peter Karam, Pastor saintmaroncleveland@gmail.com Rev. Fr.

Brothers and sisters Tell me, you who desire to be subject to the law, will you not listen to the law? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave woman and the other by a free woman. One, the child of the slave, was born according to the flesh; the other, the child of the free woman, was born through the promise. Now this is an allegory: these women are two covenants. One woman, in fact, is Hagar, from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery. Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. But the other woman corresponds to the Jerusalem above; she is free, and she is our mother. For it is written, Rejoice, you childless one, you who bear no children, burst into song and shout, you who endure no birth pangs; for the children of the desolate woman are more numerous than the children of the one who is married. Now you, my friends, are children of the promise, like Isaac. But just as at that time the child who was born according to the flesh persecuted the child who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now also. But what does the scripture say? Drive out the slave and her child; for the child of the slave will not share the inheritance with the child of the free woman. So then, friends, we are children, not of the slave but of the free woman. For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. Praise be to God always! إنةيل القد يس لوقا 1:57-66 From the Holy Gospel according to Saint Luke قال لوقا البشير ت م ز م ان إ ليص اب ات ل ت ل د ف و ل د ت ب ن ا. وس م ع ر يران ه ا وأ ق ار ب ها أ ن الر ب ق د ع ظ م ر ح م ت ه ل ه ا ف ف ر ح وا م ع ه ا. وفي الي و م ال ام ين ر ياو وا ل يي يخ يت ين يوا الص ب ي وس م و ه ب ثس م أ ب يه ز ك ري ا. فأ ر اب ت أ م ه و قال ت :»ال! ب ل ي س م ى ي وح ن ا!.«فق ال وا ل ه ا:»ال أ ح د في ق راب ت ك ي د ع ى ب هذ ا ٱلس م.«وأ ش ار وا إ لى أ ب يه م اذ ا ي ريد أ ن ي س م ي ه. فط ل ب ل و ح ا وك ت ب:»إ س م ه ي وح ن ا!.«ف ت ع ة ب وا ر م يع ه م. و ن ف ت ح ف ة أ ة ف م ز ك ر ي ا و ن ط ل ق ل س ان ه و ر ع ل ي ت ك ل م وي ب ار ك هلل ف ثس ت ولى الخ و ف على ر م يع ر يران ه م وت ح د ث الن اس ب ك ل هذ ه األ م ور في ك يل ر ب ل الي ه ود ي ة. وكان ك ل م ن س م ع ب ذل ك ي ح ف ظ ه في ق ل ب ه ق ائ ال :»ما ع س ى هذ ا الط ف ل أ ن ي ك ون.«وكان ت ي د الر ب ح ق ا م ع ه. حقا واألمان لة ميع ك م The evangelist writes, Now the time came for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son. Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown his great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her. On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him Zechariah after his father. But his mother said, No; he is to be called John. They said to her, None of your relatives has this name. Then they began motioning to his father to find out what name he wanted to give him. He asked for a writing tablet and wrote, His name is John. And all of them were amazed. Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue freed, and he began to speak, praising God. Fear came over all their neighbors, and all these things were talked about throughout the entire hill country of Judea. All who heard them pondered them and said, What then will this child become? For, indeed, the hand of the Lord was with him. This is the truth! Peace be with you.
