Lesson
- Review. Where are we? What has just happened
- Read Luke 1:57-61. Sometimes doing God’s will defies logic. People kept their names within the family. They didn’t make up names, they kept it all in the family. It didn’t make sense for them to name him this, especially since John was not a Hebrew name.
- Read Luke 1:62-66. Let’s say expectations are a little high. People have seen that God is definitely in this situation. Question: Is your family pointing towards God? Do people realize that God is working in your family?
- Read Luke 1:67-79. When my first child is born, this is the prayer that I am going to pray over them. No, they aren’t going to be as good as John the Baptist but their job in life, our job in life, is the same thing. Find one thing that was mutually exclusive to John?
- Read Luke 1:80. Why did he go to the desert? Some believe that he belonged to a group called the Essens, look it up and research them. But the big deal is this, he’s learning, he’s preparing.
- In this Christmas season, are we filled with such joy? Look at the utter joy of the family, and the community for the birth of John. They all know that this kid is special, and Zechariah makes it obvious that this guy is going to show people the Messiah.
- Are we that excited about Jesus? Are we excited about the opportunity to be the person God uses to bring His good news to the world?
