John by Angel Gabriel: God sends Angels Errand (John Baptist Book 1)

John by Angel Gabriel: God sends Angels Errand (John Baptist Book 1)

St. Luke Evangelist Doctor Luke
0/5 ( ratings)
1.St. Luke wrote of things that were most surely believed among all Christians, and therefore things which they ought to be instructed in, that they may know what they believe, and things which ought to be transmitted to posterity
2.St. Luke had received his intelligence, not only by tradition, as others had done, but by revelation, confirming that tradition, and securing him from any error or mistake in the recording of it.
3.Zacharias and Elisabeth were both righteous before God; they were so in his sight whose judgment, we are sure, is according to truth; they were sincerely and really so. They are righteous indeed that are so before God, as Noah in his generation.
4.It is not enough for us to be where God is worshipped, if our hearts do not join in the worship, and go along with the minister, in all the parts of it. If he burn the incense ever so well, in the most pertinent, judicious, lively prayer, if we be not at the same time praying in concurrence with him, what will it avail us? All the prayers we offer up to God here in his courts are acceptable and successful only in virtue of the incense of Jesus Christ’s intercession in the temple of God above.
5.Note, Prayers of faith are filed in heaven, and are not forgotten, though the thing prayed for is not presently given in. Prayers made when we were young and coming into the world may be answered when we are old and going out of the world.
6.John Baptist shall be instrumental for the conversion of many souls to God, and the preparing of them to receive and entertain the gospel of Jesus Christ. He shall be sent to the children of Israel, to the nation of the Jews, to whom the Messiah also was first sent, and not to the Gentiles; to the whole nation, and not the family of the priests only, with which, though he was himself of that family, we do not find he had any particular intimacy or influence.
7.All that are to be devoted to the Lord, and made happy in him, must first be prepared and made ready for him. We must be prepared by grace in this world for the glory in the other, by the terrors of the law for the comforts of the gospel, by the spirit of bondage for the Spirit of adoption.
8.Zacharias made a shift to give them to understand that he had seen a vision, by some awful signs he made, for he beckoned to them, and remained speechless, This represents to us the weakness and deficiency of the Levitical priesthood, in comparison with Jesus Christ’s priesthood and the dispensation of the gospel.
9.The same angel, Gabriel, that was employed in making known to Zacharias God’s purpose concerning his son, is employed in this also; for in this, the same glorious work of redemption, which was begun in that, is carried on.
