"Do not be afraid Zechariah, because yoir prayer has been heard..." these were the words of the Angel Gabriel to Zechariah while giving him the good news of the Lord of having a child. Fouth day of the simbang gabi. One week left before christmas.
As the day of the birth of our Lord fast approaches we prepare ourselves for His comming. Zechariah and Elizabeth are proofs of God's power and greatness. The couple never stopped believing and worshipping God despite the hardships that they have been through especially Elizabeth for not having a child.
Zechariah was skeptical at first when he heard the news that Angel Gabriel has brought to him. Leaving him mute until the birth of his son who was later became known as John the Baptist. John the Baptist is one of the most influential man of his time. He baptized Jesus along with many others converting them to Christianity.
During these times of darkness and chaos a lot of us are slowly losing hope in life. As we prepare ourselves for the coming of our Lord, let us reflect on our shortcomings. There might be some points wherein we become skeptical about our faith, but during these times of doubt and confusion we find the light and feel the grace of the Lord pouring over us.
