25 Days of Advent Daily Scripture Reading – Day 24

Our daily Scripture reading for the 25 Days of Advent Bible Study Series is Luke 1:67-80:

Zechariah’s Prophecy

⁶⁷And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying,

⁶⁸“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel,
    for he has visited and redeemed his people
⁶⁹and has raised up a horn of salvation for us
    in the house of his servant David,
⁷⁰as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old,
⁷¹that we should be saved from our enemies
    and from the hand of all who hate us;
⁷²to show the mercy promised to our fathers
    and to remember his holy covenant,
⁷³the oath that he swore to our father Abraham, to grant us
⁷⁴    that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies,
might serve him without fear,
⁷⁵    in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
⁷⁶And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High;
    for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways,
⁷⁷to give knowledge of salvation to his people
    in the forgiveness of their sins,
⁷⁸because of the tender mercy of our God,
    whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high
⁷⁹to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
    to guide our feet into the way of peace.”

⁸⁰And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.

25 Days of Advent Reflections & Commentary – Day 24

Zechariah’s Prophecy

In today’s lesson of the 25 Days of Advent Bible Study Series, we will take a look at Zechariah’s prophecy over his son, John the Baptist. (Luke 1:67-80):

Zechariah, John the Baptist’s father, is filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesies over him!

His words speak to the purpose and calling on John the Baptist’s life.

This speaks to the important role of fathers in the lives of their children.

Let’s respect, honor, and cherish the roles fathers play in the family unit. There is something POWERFUL that happens when men rise up, be who God’s called them to be, and walk fully in their God-ordained roles.

25 Days of Advent Prayer – Day 24

Pray this with me for our 25 Days of Advent Prayer:

Dear Lord, I thank you for your fulfillment of Luke 1:67-80.

This is a constant reminder of the sacredness of the birth of Jesus, the Messiah, which was prophesied about previously. This Scripture is the fulfillment of those prophecies.

Thank you for the reminder of a father’s role in decreeing, declaring, and prophesying the Lord’s truth and purpose over his children.

Help my family and I to hold the man’s role of husband, father, protector, and provider as sacred, honorable, and necessary to the fulfillment of our family’s purpose on earth.

May our hearts keep the focus on Christ’s birth, purpose, and fulfillment, during this Holy Season.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
