Zechariah & Elizabeth -contrast with Herod -Allusions to OT birth stories -Zechariah’s response contrasts with Mary -Elizabeth’s child makes her prophesy

What will John do? -We remember him for baptizing Jesus, but… -The spirit of Elijah -Family reconciliation -Ethical instruction -Prepared people for Jesus

Learning from John in Advent In Advent we prepare ourselves for Jesus but… -How can we help others to prepare? -How can we help to guide others in the way of Jesus?
