Zechariah’s Song

by Alistair Begg

Luke 1:67–75
 (ID: 2719)

At the birth of John the Baptist, his father, Zechariah, praised God in a song filled with references to Israel’s history. His words declared the coming of the Lord’s salvation, foreshadowed in the birth of John. Unless we have understood Christ’s birth in light of the Old Testament, however, we will miss the significance of this most momentous event in world history. Examining both the Old and New Testaments, Alistair Begg presents a historical context for God’s eternal plan of redemption, realized in Christ Jesus.
