Chris Turner | Luke 1:5-25
An angel of the Lord appeared to [Zechariah], standing at the right side of the altar of incense. When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear. But the angel said to him: 'Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John. He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth, for he will be great in the sight of the Lord.'
For hundreds of years it seemed that heaven had been silent. Temple worship continued, but maybe few - Zechariah among them - thought it really mattered. Suddenly, God broke in, and Zechariah was literally dumbstruck. His elderly wife, who had lost hope of bearing a child, would conceive, and through the child, hope would come to the whole nation.
Chris begins our new series Light and glory focusing on the angelic messages announcing Jesus' birth. Chris encourages us to make time to hear God's voice in our own lives.
