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 era This 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
