"His Name is John"
Luke 1:62-66
Zechariah praised God with his first words after months of silence. In a song that is often called Benedictus after the first words in the Latin translation of the passage, Zechariah prophesied the coming of a Savior who would redeem his people, and he predicted that his son, John, would prepare the Messiah's way. All the Old Testament prophecies were coming true-no wonder Zechariah praised God! The Messiah would come in Zechariah's lifetime, and the son had been chosen to pave the way.
