Re:Verse passage – Luke 1:57-80 (day six)
In Luke 1:67, the Holy Spirit fills Zechariah, and immediately, he speaks about Jesus. After months of silence, his first words are not about his son’s significance, his own suffering, or Israel’s political future. They are about God’s faithfulness and the coming Savior. This is one of the clearest signs of the Spirit’s work: the Spirit always bears witness to the Son.
The signs of the Spirit are not power, wealth, or influence. Nor does he draw attention to human achievement. Instead, he opens mouths to proclaim Jesus, his mercy, his kingdom, his salvation.
This invites an honest question: What do our words reveal about what fills us? When the Spirit is at work, Jesus becomes central. Our stories, hopes, and longings begin to orbit around him.

Pastors and all…
I appreciate your comments on our passage for this week, but I did not get any input in reference to Mary’s Magnificat. Our Lesson 3 Writer, Davey Gibson (Master of Divinity): “Today we might describe what both Mary and Zacharias are doing as preaching – orally declaring God’s truth.” Please, can you help me? Respectfully, with thanks;
Bob Wilson
