3 Born with a Mission

Luke 1:57-80, TBC Book Two, Chapter 3
Nine months passed since Elizabeth had gotten pregnant. Her baby would soon be born. Mary was with her that day when she was ready to deliver. Elizabeth gave birth to a son, just as the angel had predicted. Seldom had a woman this age given birth to a child. Her neighbors knew this baby was surely a gift from God and a sign of his love for them. When they learned she had finally given birth to a son, they, too, were filled with joy.

Eight days later, Elizabeth and Zechariah took the baby to be circumcised. God had instructed Abraham that all baby boys who were his descendants were to be circumcised as a sign of God’s covenant between the Lord and his chosen people.

On the day of circumcision, the father would announce his baby’s name, but Zechariah still could not speak. So one of the men began to present the baby with his father’s name.

“No!” Elizabeth said. . . .
