Zechariah received good news from the angel Gabriel that his wife Elizabeth, who had been unable to have children, would soon give birth to a special son. This son would have the calling of preparing the people for the LORD. However, Zechariah had a hard time believing this wonderful news.
Sometimes, we too find it difficult to believe good news because we are surrounded by bad news. We may struggle to believe the Good News that comes from God, or we may believe it in general but not for ourselves specifically.
At this time of year, we celebrate the Good News that God has become Emmanuel, God-with-us, through the birth of Jesus, Mary's son. This is Good News for all of us as a people and as individuals. Christ is with us in every aspect of our lives, surrounding us with His love and guidance. Let us embrace this Good News with joy during this special time of year.
