Today's readingโ€”Luke 1:39-80

In this latter half of Luke 1, I'm taken with Zechariah's song, and in particular verse 72: "To show the mercy promised to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant." While Jesus' coming was marvelously unexpected, it was mercifully promised. And this Word also reminds me that I am an heir: I'm the recipient of blessings long foretold, and passed down through generations.ย
