TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
Luke 1:57–66 - Now the time came for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son. [58] And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her. [59] And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child. And they would have called him Zechariah after his father, [60] but his mother answered, “No; he shall be called John.” [61] And they said to her, “None of your relatives is called by this name.” [62] And they made signs to his father, inquiring what he wanted him to be called. [63] And he asked for a writing tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they all wondered. [64] And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God. [65] And fear came on all their neighbors. And all these things were talked about through all the hill country of Judea, [66] and all who heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, “What then will this child be?” For the hand of the Lord was with him.

| 0:00.0 | Hey there, my friends. Are you ready? Are you ready to get your mind aligned with the truth of God's word for this day? That's what the morning mindset is all about. I'm glad you're here. Merry Christmas. We are digging into our Christmas series for this year. And before we get into it, I want to thank our daily sponsor |
| 0:23.3 | for today's episode. The cost of today's episode is financially supported by David, a guy from |
| 0:29.3 | Ohio who listens every morning. Thank you, David, for your consistent and faithful support |
| 0:33.5 | of the morning mindset. Friends, if you would like to sponsor an episode of the Morning |
| 0:37.6 | Mindset, you can do so in your name like David did anonymously, or even in memory of someone. |
| 0:42.8 | Go to morning mindsetmedia.com slash daily sponsor to find out more. |
| 0:48.6 | Okay, friends, before we dig into the Gospel of Luke chapter 1 versus 57 through 66, I'm going to invite you to pray with me |
| 0:56.9 | for God's help in understanding his word. Lord, as we understand and read these narratives, we can do so |
| 1:04.3 | on an intellectual level only, and we don't want that. We want our hearts to be moved. We want |
| 1:09.0 | our spirit to be enriched. |
| 1:15.3 | And so we're asking you by the power of your Holy Spirit to do that kind of work in us. |
| 1:17.5 | In Jesus' name, we pray. |
| 1:18.2 | Amen. |
| 1:27.0 | Okay, in Luke chapter 1, verses 57 through 66, we're moving back into a story we stepped into a few days ago, where Elizabeth, one of the Virgin Mary's |
| 1:31.3 | cousins, was an old woman and she became pregnant. And so her son, John, is the one who was prophesied |
| 1:40.5 | by Isaiah to be, so to speak, the one who one to come before the Messiah and prepare the way for him. |
| 1:47.2 | And so we're returning to their story because Elizabeth had her child before Mary had Jesus. |
| 1:53.5 | And so it's coming back to the story of John's birth. |
| 1:56.9 | Says, now the time came for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son. And her neighbors and |
| 2:02.6 | relatives heard that the Lord had shown great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her. And on the |
| 2:08.2 | eighth day they came to circumcise the child. Now this was the Jewish custom. On the eighth day, |
| 2:13.4 | they would circumcise every boy. And they would have called him Zechariah after his father. |
