Zechariah’s Christmas Sermon

Immanuel Fellowship Church

The New Testament contains three so-called canticles, poems or songs that celebrate the coming of Christ. Simeon blessed God for allowing him to meet the promised Messiah (Luke 2:28–32). Mary magnified the Lord for choosing her to be the mother of God (Luke 1:46–55). And Zechariah the priest prophesied about how Jesus fulfilled God's ancient promise of salvation, and his son John's role in introducing him.Zechariah's prophecy can help us understand the significance of Jesus' advent, or first coming, and stir us respond the way Zechariah did.
