Evening; Psalms 112, 115; Isaiah 11:1-9; Luke 1:1–25
Luke, right after saying he’s telling the truth, writes the amazing story of an angel visiting old Zechariah with news Elizabeth will have a son. He’s dumbfounded. Sometimes, astounding things happen, and you realize later they’re true … then truth itself astounds you. Poet Mary Oliver writes: “When it’s over, I want to say all my life I was a bride married to amazement.” Elizabeth spent the rest of her life “married to amazement” - Zechariah. When John was born, Zechariah got his voice back, and he went and told everyone the whole amazing story.
