Luke 1:14
"But the angel said to him, “Don’t be afraid, Zacharias, because your request has been heard. Your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John."
Key Reflection
This passage reassures Zacharias of God's presence and intervention, emphasizing that despite his age and barrenness, God hears prayer and fulfills promises through the birth of John the Baptist, who will prepare the way for Jesus. The angel’s message not only brings hope to Zacharias but also foreshadows the divine plan unfolding in the lives of both Zacharias and Elizabeth.
