Summary
There are some people who believe that they exist, and then there are actually people who do not believe that angels exist, but angels are mentioned 282 times in scripture. We know the angels have very specific purpose as we continue after, we don't have Sunday school adult ed next Sunday, but then after that into January, the three first Sundays in January, we're going to keep going through the angels. This miraculous birth of his son had indeed taken place and he knew that his son John being born meant that the promise the promise of the Savior would be held true that God would keep that promise. Because when we hear of our sin and we hear of the darkness in which we dwell, in our sin, our hearts are prepared to hear the dawning light, our hearts are prepared to hear of God's grace, our hearts are prepared to hear that our sins are forgiven, not in our own deeds, not in our own righteousness, but in God's loving mercy and grace that He has for you. And today we celebrate the birth, the birth of God is gracious because the birth of John is a promise made and a promise kept and as we celebrate that promise that has been kept, we celebrate knowing that the promise of redemption of our sins, the promise of the full forgiveness of our sin, the full darkness in which you were born has been cleared by the light of Christ, the promised Messiah, the promise that was made by God Himself and kept in God Himself. Look at chapter 1, verse 15, as the angel is speaking about John, the child of that Zechariah and Elizabeth are going to have.
