Zechariah's Benedictus - Poster

“Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue set free, and he began to speak, praising God. All the neighbors were filled with awe, and throughout the hill country of Judea people were talking about all these things. Everyone who heard this wondered about it, asking, “What then is this child going to be?” For the Lord’s hand was with him.

His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied: “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come to his people and redeemed them.” -Luke 1:64-68

After a long time in silence, Zechariah’s song breaks forth when he concludes with Elizabeth that his son’s name will be John. Ushered from a place of transformation, Zechariah moves from doubt to faith. He sings the song he was always meant to sing with his life and praises God.
