The Redeemer Pulpit

Luke Part 1 #6 - ”Glorifying the Promise-Keeping God Pt 2” (Luke 1:67-80)

Why does an elderly priest burst into prophetic song after months of silence? In this verse-by-verse exposition, we examine Zechariah's Spirit-inspired hymn—known historically as the Benedictus—and discover three iron-clad reasons every believer has to praise the Lord.Walking through Luke 1:67-80, we explore how this prophetic song serves as a divine commentary on God's plan of salvation, rooted in three major biblical covenants: the Davidic covenant's promise of a warrior-king, the Abrahamic covenant's oath to create a worshiping people, and the New Covenant's provision of lasting forgiveness and true knowledge of God.**In this study:**​​↳ What it means for God to "visit" His people and why that matters for you↳ The violent imagery behind "horn of salvation" and what it reveals about the seriousness of sin↳ Why God swears oaths when He cannot lie↳ The connection between forgiveness of sins and truly knowing God↳ How John the Baptist's ministry signals the arrival of the New Covenant eraThis sermon is part of our series "The Perfect Man's Arrival," a verse-by-verse study through the opening chapters of Luke's Gospel.---**Subscribe** for weekly expository preaching through the Scriptures.#Luke #VerseByVerse #ExpositoryPreaching #ReformedTheology #BibleStudy #Benedictus #Christmas
