Luke 1:57-80

Gareth Weakly

The classic Christmas carol "What Child is This?" is about the birth of Jesus. But this week, we'll see that many Israelites in Luke ask "what then will this child be?" of another miraculous child, John, and see how his birth is related to the coming of Jesus. With John's birth, the time of mercy has come. We'll see that God's promise to John's parents has come, God's covenant fulfillment has come, and God's preparing prophet has come.
