How Zechariah’s Benedictus brings comfort during Christmas

By Filings on Fri, 12/22/23
Bible, Theology & Philosophy
Messianic Prophecy
Christmas

“even in the midst of a blessed occasion for his family, Zechariah’s first words are about the Rescuer who has come as a horn of salvation for us (Luke 1:69); a Redeemer who is a Dayspring from on high that shatters the darkness (vs. 78-79). The whole Benedictus is vivid and moving.” - Brent Leatherwood
