Luk 1:76-79

“And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High;
For you will go on BEFORE THE LORD TO PREPARE HIS WAYS;

To give to His people the knowledge of salvation
By the forgiveness of their sins,

Because of the tender mercy of our God,
With which the Sunrise from on high will visit us,

TO SHINE UPON THOSE WHO SIT IN DARKNESS AND THE SHADOW OF DEATH,
To guide our feet into the way of peace.”

Think on it…
This little new-born baby of Zacharias…

Will be called the prophet of the Most High.
Will go before the Lord.
Will prepare the way of the Lord.
Will give the Lord’s people THE knowledge of salvation.
- Note, THE knowledge. Not “a” knowledge”. Not “a” way. “The” way.
Will give the people the knowledge buy the forgiveness of their sins.

Why?
Because of the tender mercy of God.
This mercy of God has brought forth the “Sunrise”, the “Dayspring” from on high who will visit.

Why?
To shine upon those who sit in darkness.
To shine upon those who sit in the shadow of death.
To guide our feet into the way of peace.

Zacharias was declaring that Messiah was appearing and that John was His forerunner.

The millennia of waiting was over.

Messiah was coming…soon.

Yes, He is coming…soon.
