“And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.”
Luke 1:66 KJV
Luke recorded the birth of John the Baptist when the dumb mouth of his father Zechariah spoke after nine months, as he spoke praises to God. Everyone who heard about this treasured it in their hearts, wondering about this child’s destiny. The Hand of the Lord was clearly with him. Isaiah had asked the Lord hundreds of years ago, “who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed!” Who understands how God has reached into our world? The incarnation is God’s Arm, reaching into our immediate moment! His Hand extends God’s touch; He is God’s embrace of the human race! Let’s believe Yahweh’s passionate desire for mankind through Christ and respond to Him with gratitude. Amen!
