John the Baptist -- Chapter 2: The Birth of John the Baptist


This lesson is taken from Luke 1:57-66

 
Now it was time for Elizabeth’s baby to be born, and it was a boy.  The word spread quickly to her neighbors and relatives that the Lord had been very kind to her, and everyone was happy for her.

When the baby was 8 days old, all the relatives and friends came for the customary ceremony.  They wanted to name the baby Zechariah, after his father.  But Elizabeth said, “No!  His name is John!”  “What?” the people said.  “There is no one in your family with that name.”  So they asked the baby’s father, what the baby name would be.   He motioned for some paper, and to everyone’s surprise he wrote down, “His name is John!”  Instantly Zechariah could speak again, and he began praising God.

Wonder fell upon the whole neighborhood, and the news of what had happened spread throughout the Judean hills.  Everyone that heard about what happened, thought about it, and they wondered what the child would be like when he grew up.  For the hand of the Lord was surely on him in a very special way.  And the child grew and he became strong in the Spirit of the Lord.  We don’t know when John left home, but the Bible tells us that he lived in the wilderness until it was time for him to start preaching God’s message to the people of Israel.  Did you know that Elisabeth, John’s mother, and Mary, Jesus’ mother, were cousins.  That also made John and Jesus cousins.  But John was six months older than Jesus.
