John was an Amazing Baptist

What’s going to be the No.1 song this Christmas? Or, what has Spotify wrapped up for you? Music and Christmas go hand in hand. We love to sing at this time of year. The Christmas story in Luke’s gospel has two famous songs - the first by Jesus’ mother Mary and the second by Zechariah, the Father of John the Baptist. Zechariah sang his heart out. He was filled with the Spirit and praised God. What makes you sing out loud? For Zechariah, there were some amazing things! It was the plan of God to save and rescue the world. It was the miracle of the birth of his son, John, who was to prepare the way for Jesus’ arrival. It was the forgiveness of God, the tender mercy of God, the light of God and the peace that only God can bring. Wow! What brilliant lyrics! Come and join in the song of celebration this Christmas. Jesus saves!
