John Piper preaches on the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth, highlighting God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises despite human doubts and limitations. Zechariah's silence serves as a period of reflection and transformation, leading to a profound understanding of the significance of God's work in his life. The Benedictus, Zechariah's prophetic song, emphasizes the redemption and salvation brought by the birth of Jesus, the horn of salvation, who conquers fear, unrighteousness, and enemies. Piper encourages seeking silence to grasp the stupendous significance of God's work and to appreciate the profound transformation and victory offered through Jesus, the horn of salvation.
