Sermon Text: Luke 1:57-66 Sermon Date: 10/06/2024 Speaker: Brian Crawford . Check us out at: https://citylightvicksburg.org/ Or check us out here: https://www.facebook.com/citylightvicksburg . The birth of John is a story of God’s assurance, mercy, authority, and worth. God’s Assurance - l when the lord speaks, you can be sure. The process of going through a birth in old age, as Elizabeth, would be hard. But John’s birth shows that we can be sure of God making good on his Word. God’s birth is a reminder that when He speaks, we can be sure. God’s Mercy - It's written that He “Magnified His mercy” for her. The Lord is making his own mercy bigger in Elizabeth’s life, by giving her this promised child. God’s mercy in our life helps us to recognize the mercy He has given us. Make room in your life for this mercy. Magnify God in your soul for making you an heir to the Kingdom of God! God’s Authority - in Jewish customs, it was not normal to name a child after random name, but rather someone in the family. But they submit to God’s authority over them, and choose the name John. The family’s response would be “who is John! We don’t have a single John in our family.” Don’t miss the fact that they received a promise for God, and almost immediately there’s the pressure to compromise in this divine commission! But when the Lord calls us, we should be willing to follow. Our own desires on this earth is not as important as our calling from God. God’s Worth - as soon as Zachariah’s mouth was unlocked, he began to adore, praise and speak prophesy. The very first praise offered is not for his son, John, but for Jesus to come. Any blessing we receive for God is to be used in service to God. And Zachariah prophesied that John comes to prepare the way for Jesus, who saves the world through the tender mercy of our God. Even in the midst of hardship or discipline, when we come out and open our mouths, the first thing we say can be praise for his mighty worth.
