The ABC's of the Bible- Zechariah

...John the Baptist's name if he weren't called to be a prophet.

Zechariah was the father of John the Baptist. He was a priest who became much more faithful to God through his wife's pregnancy and his son's birth than he had ever been before.

You can read about Zechariah in Luke 1:5-25, 57-80.

After all he Zechariah went through he was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied. Here is an excerpt:
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David... (Luke 1:68-69)
This concludes the ABC's of the Bible. I hope it has been helpful for you. We only skipped X.

Grace and Peace,
Stephen
