Christ The King / Proper 29
Lectionary Devotional for Cycle C
And you, child, will be called prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways....
-- Luke 1:76
Zechariah's tongue was loosed as he named his child John. He sang this prophecy about his child. His prayer was about the future saving acts of God, but it was based on his recognition of the past acts of God. It was because of the faithfulness of God in the past that Zechariah was confident of what God was doing that had implications for the future.
