Zechariah and Elizabeth, the Righteous Ones

The Gospel of Luke reveals the most about the events and circumstances surrounding the birth of Christ. We often read the heart-warming story of Jesus' birth from chapter two. But contained within chapter one is an important and more complete part of the story that involves the righteous couple, Zechariah and Elizabeth. Zechariah was a priest, and we'd have never heard his name if something miraculous hadn't happened to him and his wife. What took place is not only fascinating, but crucial in the coming of our Savior.
