Episode 010: Birth of John and Zechariah’s Benedictus - Luke 1:57-80

Luke wrote his gospel in order to give us certainty regarding the things that have been taught. In this portion of his gospel, Luke is demonstrating the mercy of God in His dealing with Israel, and in the birth of both John and Jesus. Zechariah gives us the third of five nativity songs of praise, reflecting back on the work of God in the life of Israel, and in the present action of God redeeming His people. These songs give us a wonderful reminder of the redemptive work of God throughout the history of Israel, and a glimpse into the continuation of that plan through the birth of John.
