The birth of John the Baptist is not just a heartwarming story about an elderly couple finally receiving the child they always longed for. It is a loud and mighty thunderclap of God's mercy breaking four hundred years of prophetic silence. It is the opening act of salvation history’s final chapter. And it is a reminder that God's promises may seem delayed, but they are never denied.
Zechariah, once silenced for his unbelief, now finds his voice again. He does not regain his speech to talk about himself or even his son, but to sing of God’s mercy, His covenant, and His plan of salvation.
